$1,500 No Limit Hold'em Isle Open Championship| $500,000 GTD
Level 1 (Blinds 50/100)
Total Day 1A Entries: 21
After a brief delay, the cards are in the air for Day 1A of the 2017 $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Isle Open Championship. The culminating event of the series carries with it a $500,000 guarantee, along with one of the best major structures for a tournament of this price point. Players in each of the three starting flights will sit down to 30,000 unit starting stacks, and will play levels that last (50) minutes. As the tournament progresses, those levels will transition to (60) at the beginning of Day 2 (Sunday at 12:00pm), and will continue that way until the tournament's conclusion (which is scheduled for Monday, October 30th). Registration for the event is open through each of the starting flights (which play until the conclusion of Level 12), and stays open until the cards are in the air for Day 2.
This event was won by Edward Novak (Simsbury, CT) during last year's series, as he bested a field of (455) entries to take home $166,071. There were no deals made at the final table, with Novak beating Isaiah Goldman during heads-up play. Some other names to reach that final table included AJ Gambino, Sam Panzica, Joshua Hillock, Alfonso Perez, Paul Balzano, and Ryan Gianquitti. Last year's prize pool closed at $629,100, a number which we expect to eclipse during this installment of the event.
The "early bird" players are still getting settled in their seats, so we will allow for some time to pass, before we take a first look at notables in the field. Live coverage of Day 1A will continue through the bagging process, which should begin some time around 11:00pm.
