Isle Open Event 7 (Flight 1E): Trudeau Looking To Add Another Tournament Title

2017 Isle Open | Event #7
$360 No Limit Hold'em | $200,000 GTD
Level 6 (Blinds 200/400/50)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 164


Jeff Trudeau (Orlando, FL) took a few days away from the table after winning Event #5 on Tuesday, but is now back in the field, looking for title number two.

There aren't many players to have won numerous titles in the same series here at the Isle, but a few are in the field now that have the chance to do that.  Jeff Trudeau (Orlando, FL) is one of the most recent entries in the field, and is coming off of a trophy win earlier this week.  Trudeau bested a field of (145) entries in Event #5 ($120 No Limit Hold'em | $15,000 GTD), eventually making a heads-up deal with Arnold Cohen (West Palm Beach, FL).  Jeff would walk away with $4,000 for first first place finish, bringing his career tournament earnings above $518,150.  The win was the tenth of Trudeau's impressive career, and also his first major trophy win here at the Isle Poker Room.  Trudeau joins a group of late arriving players, which includes another player that can earn his second title of the series:

Christopher Gilkey (2017 Isle Open | Event #1 Winner)
Jeffrey Fogel
Try Hen
Steve McCoy
Thomas Gari
Peter Fellows
Nagui Yassa
Andre Rakusa
