Isle Open Event 7 (Day 2): From One Blind...To The Money

2017 Isle Open | Event #7
$360 No Limit Hold'em | $200,000 GTD
Level 19 (Blinds 4,000/8,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 941
Players Remaining: 76

We thought Charlemagne Benjamin (Miami, FL) may become one of the early storylines, and that's just what happened, as he managed to reach the money after having just one big blind a few minutes into the day.

When players returned from break, they were informed that because of an elimination on the last hand before break, everyone was in the money.  That means a few things: (a) there will be no hand-for hand play, (b) everyone remaining is guaranteed at least $685, and (c) Charlemagne Benjamin (Miami, FL) managed to turn one big blind (just a few minutes into the day) into an "in the money" finish.  Benjamin was still super short as play resumed (just under 30,000), but has to consider anything that happens from here a "freeroll."
