Isle Open Event 15 (Day 1B): As The "Turbo" Satellite Winds Down, Previous Winners Are Entering The Field

2017 Isle Open | Event #15
$1,100 No Limit Hold'em | $150,000 GTD
Level 4 (Blinds 75/150/25)
Total Day 1B Entries: 50

Kareem Bernardo (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) has earned the chance for a career highlighting experience, playing in an $1,100 event for a fraction of the cost.

When Dylan Drazen was featured on the blog yesterday, his storyline revolved around winning a satellite, and turning it into a cash over $528,000.  It's an opportunity that can't be looked over...as players have the chance to gain entry into larger buy-in events, for a fraction of the cost.  While the final satellite for this event is still running ($130 No Limit Hold'em "Turbo"), there was one run last night, that ended up giving away (10) seats into today's starting flight.  The following players earned entry into this $1,100 buy-in event for just $130:

1. Michael Graffeo
2. Doyle Elliot
3. Phil Piccolo
4. Dean Arahovites
5. Erik Nomberg
6. Ken Bruno
7. Kareem Bernardo
8. Nancy Birnbaum
9. David Light
10. Larry Hirschfield

Kareem Bernardo (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) is one of those satellite winners in the field, looking to make a run of a lifetime.  Bernardo has eight recorded results on his tournament resume, totaling $1,833 in earnings, all from events with buy-ins that are $150 (or less).  This opportunity to play in an $1,100 buy-in tournament could see career best return, just with a min-cash alone.
