The nine players to chop Event #1 of the 2017 Isle Open, many of which are earning the largest tournament cashes of their careers (including Gilbert Whorrie, Christopher Gilkey, Dan Saffer, Arno Kruger).

Before any hands were dealt at the final table, the players wanted to hear the ICM numbers, with Tournament Supervisor Rick Mims breaking the numbers down for them.  Eight of the nine players agreed to the numbers that were read aloud, but after some negotiation, the only detractor jumped on board.  Posted below are the final results for Event 1 of the 2017 Isle Open:
