Isle Open Event 1 (Flight 1A): Darcy Deconza Bags Flight 1A Chip Lead, Official Counts To Follow

2017 Isle Open | Event #1
$175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 16 (Blinds 2,000/4,000/500)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 113
Flight 1A Players Remaining: 23


Darcy Deconza (Hollywood, FL) sheds the sunglasses for the first time all day, happy to smile for her "chip leading photo," as she becomes the first player to earn entry into Event #15 of the 2017 Isle Open ($1,100 NLH).

Richard Wetter and Darcy Deconza traded the chip lead a handful of times over the final level of the flight, but it would be a Deconza who would sit with the largest stack at the end of play (234,500).  Eric Piderit also made a run at the Event #15 seat, winning a 220,000 pot versus Robert Tanner, just three hands before the clock was paused.

Deconza is a recreational player from Hollywood, who has now booked her seat into the largest buy-in event of her career.  Darcy found herself towards the top of the leaderboard early in the flight, but used a critical hand against Elsie Rodrigues to really put herself in chip lead contention (with her Q Q♣ besting the J♠ J of Rodriguez, all-in pre for a pot worth 190,000).

The tournament staff is currently verifying the stacks of the (23) players that reached the bagging process, with official counts to be posted here on the blog shortly afterwards (just after 7:00pm).  This will conclude live coverage for the day, but followers can check back after the conclusion of Flight 1B (which is in action), for official counts from the second flight of Event #1.
