Isle Open Championship (Day 1B): Second Of Three Isle Open Championship Starting Days Underway

2017 Isle Open | Event #21
$1,500 No Limit Hold'em Isle Open Championship| $500,000 GTD
Level 1 (Blinds 50/100)
Total Day 1B Entries: N/A



Day 1B of the 2017 Isle Open $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Championship is about to see the first cards pitched, with Tournament Director Ralph Brandt currently finishing up the rules announcement.  Yesterday's Day 1A action started very strong, and ended up reaching the bagging process with a total of (92) entries.  Of those entries, there were (23) players that reached the end of play for the day, earning two days off, before returning to Day 2 on Sunday.  Marc Levy bagged the Day 1A chip lead with 255,600, just edging out notable pro Barry Hutter (255,000).  Also in the top five stacks bagged was Sam Panzica (220,400), who arrived at the Isle Poker Room less than (24) hours removed from a WPT final table at Best Bet Jacksonville.  A full list of yesterday's chip counts will be posted shortly, as part of coverage for Day 1B.

This starting day is structured the same as the one that came before, and will come after it.  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.
