Isle Open Championship (Day 3): Frank Lerczak Out In 8th Place ($14,589), Sends Chips To Scott Levitt

2017 Isle Open | Event #21
$1,500 No Limit Hold'em Isle Open Championship| $500,000 GTD
Level 26 (Blinds 25,000/50,000/5,000)
Total Event #21 Entries: 404
Event #21 Players Remaining: 7


Frank Lerczak (Buffalo, NY) came back from break one of the shortest stacks, and didn't wait long before putting them in play.

Two of the shortest stacks got tangled just a few minutes into Level 26, with Frank Lerczak (Buffalo, NY) shoving for 485,000, once action folded to him.  Scott Levitt, who was sitting with a very similar stack, re-shoved for less (465,000).  The rest of the players folded, and it would be the 5♣ 5 of Lerczak, well behind the K♠ K of Levitt.  The 4 7♠ J♣ 8♣ 9 runout would leave Frank with just three antes, and he'd be eliminated the next by by Nancy Birnbaum.

The $14,589 that Frank earned for eighth place is his second largest tournament cash, and helps brings his career earnings above the $70,000 mark.
