Isle Open Event 7 (Flight 1E): Martin Culotta Bags Flight 1E Chip Lead, Earns Entry Into Event #15

2017 Isle Open | Event #7
$360 No Limit Hold'em | $200,000 GTD
Level 15 (Blinds 1,500/3,000/500)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 204
Flight 1E Players Remaining: 27

Martin Culotta (Florida) bags the Flight 1E chip lead, ending the afternoon flight with over 500,000.  His efforts have now earned him a seat into next week's Event #15 ($1,100 No Limit Hold'em | $150,000 GTD).

Flight 1E wrapped up just minutes ago, with the final few hands drama-free, as Martin Culotta's (Florida) stack was out of reach for the other players.  The tournament staff is verifying stacks as this post is being published, but it's very possible that Culotta bagged the overall Day 2 chip lead.

That will conclude the live blogged coverage of today's action, but followers can check back shortly for the official counts from Flight 1E (around 9:00pm), and in the early morning hours for Flight 1F chip counts (around 4:00am).
