The tournament schedule is normally pretty light on Wednesday's, as the "Spin To Win" high hand promotions garners much of the attention from the players.  Omar Sader (Coral Springs, FL) added a third Isle Poker tournament win to his resume, after winning back-to-back events on April 4th-5th.  Sader returned on April 5th to finish out the tournament from the night before ($40 No Limit Hold'em $10,000 GTD), and after winning that event, entered that same days nightly...and won that too!!!  The score on Wednesday, May 17th brought Omar's lifetime earnings above the $25,000 mark, which is a number to recognize for any tournament player.

Friday, May 19th hosted one of the "special" tournaments for the month, a $150 No Limit Hold'em tournament with a $20,000 guaranteed prize pool. The tournament offered a great structure, and with the poker room open (24) hours on Friday's, players had the opportunity to finish the event without being up against the clock (poker room closes at 3:00am on weekdays).  The tournament was eventually chopped four ways, after the elimination of Raminder Singh (Delray Beach, FL) in fifth place.  The real storyline of the event was the Ahmed's, a husband and wife duo from Minnesota that managed to make the final table together.  What makes that even more impressive, is the fact that it was the first of two final tables that the couple would make over the weekend!
