Isle Open Championship (Day 1A): #TeamNoMercy Climbs The Counts

2017 Isle Open | Event #21
$1,500 No Limit Hold'em Isle Open Championship| $500,000 GTD
Level 8 (Blinds 400/800/100)
Total Day 1A Entries: 88


Jeremy Meacham (Oak Bluffs, MA) has helped put "Team No Mercy" on the map, with his exceptional play over the past two years.

Players are now (30) minutes removed from dinner, with the flight's chip leader taking an extended break from the tables.  Marc Levy (Boynton Beach, FL) grabbed the top spot just before dinner, exiting the tournament area with just over 135,000.  Also climbing the leaderboard is Jeremy Meacham (Oak Bluffs, MA), a tournament pro that's broken out in a big way, over the past two years.

Meacham started his tournament resume in 2013, and after three years of volume, had just over $100,000 in earnings.  Over the last two years though, Jeremy has taken "no mercy" on the tournament fields, amassing earnings over $600,000 in a span of (24) months.  While Jeremy earned his first six-figure score in June of 2016, it his WPT DeepStacks Jacksonville title win that helped him become a household name in tournament community.  Meacham won the $1,500 NLH event outright, earning $117,551 in the process, and followed that up with a WSOP Circuit $1,675 Main Event win at Foxwoods five months later ($156,735).  Jeremy currently sits with a top ten stack in the field, sitting behind a handful of other notables leading the pack:

Marc Levy - 134,000
Edward Novak - 130,000
Carey Pickus - 120,000
Jeremy Meacham - 115,000
Matt Smith - 105,000
Alan Saltzman - 100,000
