$1,500 No Limit Hold'em Isle Open Championship| $500,000 GTD
Level 7 (Blinds 300/600/75)
Total Day 1A Entries: 82

Joshua Lowing (Pensacola, FL) was the first player to eclipse the century mark in the field, and looks to be the chip leader as Level 7 hits it's halfway mark.

Players are now halfway through Level 7, and will be heading on their scheduled dinner break at the level's conclusion.  Dinner break is an hour long, and will see players exit the tournament area from 6:25-7:25pm.  There are a number of larger stacks emerging across the field, but none bigger than that of Joshua Lowing (Pensacola, FL).  

Lowing became the first player to eclipse 100,0000, and with thirty minutes remaining in this level, is the only player currently above the century mark.  Joshua is a Florida-based poker professional, with over $389,000 in live tournament earnings.  He's already recorded (18) results this year, including a final table run in the Parx Big Stax 2500 ($2,500 No Limit Hold'em) in February, worth $20,223.  Lowing's career highlighting score came last December, when he finished third in the $1,650 Winter Poker Open Main Event at Hard Rock Tampa ($86,857).
