It's been long said in sports, that one of the biggest advantages to a team is playing in their home stadium/area.  There is a comfort to playing in a place that your mind is familiar with, and almost offers a sense of empowerment.  This tournament has already brought out a large group of players that call this poker room home...that play in a majority of the weekly schedule...and that like their chances in this room over others.  

Joseph Mancuso, Thomas Gari, and Joseph Durso are just three of those players currently seated in the Flight 1A field.  The three have combined live tournament earnings of $130,000, with close to three-quarters of those results happening here at the Isle.

Mancuso has seen the most recent success, reaching three final tables in May, during "daily" events.  Thomas Gari has been consistent here as well though, cashing in both the "April $100,000 GTD and the "May $100,000 GTD."
