Isle Open Championship (Day 2): Walter Strakowski Out On The Bubble, Field ITM!

2017 Isle Open | Event #21
$1,500 No Limit Hold'em Isle Open Championship| $500,000 GTD
Level 16 (Blinds 2,500/5,000/500)
Total Event #21 Entries: 404
Event #21 Players Remaining: 51


Everyone in the Event #21 field was a fan of Frank Lerczak (Buffalo, NY), except for Walter Strakowski.

The money bubble lasted seven hands, and ended in dramatic fashion...for Walter Strakowski (West Palm Beach, FL).  Walter was all-in for less than five big blinds, having flopped a straight with 5♠ 7, on a 6♣ 8 9♠ board.  Unfortunately, the runout wasn't as kind as the flop, with Frank Lerczak making the nut straight with Q♠ 10♠, after a J♣ on the turn.  The remaining (51) players in the field are guaranteed at least $2,422, but all eyes are on the $112,075 first place prize.  As players get eliminated, the official results will be posted by pay jump.
