Isle Open Event 7 (Flight 1C): Third Opening Flight Kicks Off The Weekend Action

2017 Isle Open | Event #7
$360 No Limit Hold'em | $200,000 GTD
Level 1 (Blinds 25/50)
Total Flight 1C Entries: N/A



The second "major" event of the 2017 Isle Open continues today, as the second pair of Event #7 ($360 No Limit Hold'em | $200,000 GTD) flights starts at 11:00am.  The tournament boasts the second largest guarantee on the championship schedule ($200,000), and also offers one of the more "generous" structures.  Players in the six opening flights sit down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, and play levels lasting (30) minutes (through Level 15).  The time will then transition to (40) minutes (Levels 16+), and stay that way through the conclusion of the tournament.  Registration is open through the first (12) levels of each flight, which is approximately 5:30pm.  The "chip leaders bonus" is back, as the players with the largest stack from each flight will earn a seat into (Event #15 | $1,100 No Limit Hold'em | $150,000 GTD).

Yesterday afternoon was the start of Event #7 ($360 No Limit Hold'em | $200,000 GTD), and if Flight 1A was a sign of things to come...we are looking at yet another tournament that will exceed expectations.In total, there were (248) entries over the course of the first day of Event #7 action, with (31) players booking tickets to Sunday's Day 2.  That equates to $75,640 towards the overall prize pool, and a pace that will see the number soar past the posted guaranteed.

Tournament Director Ralph Brandt will be going over the rules announcement in just a few moments, and the cards will be in the air for Flight 1C.  The official combined counts will be posted shortly thereafter, followed by the first look at players in this afternoon flight.
