$175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 1 (Blinds 25/50)
Total Flight 1A Entries: N/A
Tournament Supervisor Adam Kemper just finished up with the rules announcement for the seated Flight 1A field, and the cards are now in the air for Event #1 of the 2017 Isle Open. This opening event is a $175 buy-in no limit hold'em tournament, with a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool. There are eight starting flights through Saturday evening, with an afternoon (11:00am) and evening (6:00pm) flight each day. The structure stays the same for each flight, with players sitting down to 20,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (25) minutes over the course of the event. Registration is open until the end of Level 8 (and the break that follows), with the flight's play concluding after Level 16 (or until 10% of the field remains, whichever comes first). The chip leader from each flight will earn a seat into Event 15 ($1,100 No Limit Hold'em | $150,000 GTD), which is one of the "main events" of the series.
This same event during last year's Isle Open was a $150 No Limit Hold'em event, which also boasted a $100,000 guarantee. The tournament would end up with a total of 1,148 entries, which equated to a prize pool of $113,210. Washington Gavilanes (Plantation, FL) bested Albert Efremoff (Hollywood, GL) to win the title, taking home $26,037 for first place, which still stands as his largest tournament cash to date.
"Live blogged coverage" will be offered for each afternoon flight, along with full coverage of Sunday's Day 2. Remember to follow @PokerIslePP on Twitter each day throughout the series, as the poker room's social media platform continues to grow.
