Isle Open Event 7 (Flight 1E): Nigel Murray Looking To Make 2017 A Career Year

2017 Isle Open | Event #7
$360 No Limit Hold'em | $200,000 GTD
Level 4 (Blinds 100/200/25)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 128

Nigel Murray (Miami Gardens, FL) has already earned six-figures in tournament cashes this year, but is now focused on making this the top year of his career.

As we scan the field for the second wave of notables, Nigel Murray (Miami Gardens, FL) stands out, coming off one of the stronger months of his career.  Murray, who has over $727,000 in career tournament earnings, cashed in five events during the month of August.  Of those cashes, three of them were final table finishes, totaling $57,349.  Four of the five cashes came during the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open, including his twelfth tournament win (Event #2 | $300 No Limit Hold'em Turbo | $18,570).  

Nigel's best statistical year of his career came in 2014, when he earned $149,161...a number he is only $14,000 away from this year.  A final table run in this tournament would surely help him eclipse his prior career year, with still two more months left to pad that number.  Murray is headlining the second group of notables in the field, joining names like:

Alfonso Perez
William Beasley
Luis Santoni
Jay Feierstadt
Daniel Pearlman
Alik Sitnyakovsky
Terry Siele
Linda Lipkins
Steve Lipkins
Michael Hefley
Elliot Zaydman
Charlemagne Benjamin
Nancy Birnbaum

Players will be heading on their first break of the day at this level's conclusion, returning to Level 5, and new blinds of 150/300/50.
