Sunday, October 29th: Isle Open Championship "Moving Day" Is Upon Us, Day 2 Begins At 12:00PM

ICYMI: Day 1C of the Isle Open Championship ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em) was the final opportunity for players to bag up Day 2 chips, and the numbers surely reflected that.  When the night ended, the official number of entries would close at (187) entries, of which (45) players successfully bagged chips for Day 2.  Important to note was the (166th) entry, which joined the field just after dinner, and signified the $500,000 guarantee being reached.  Leading the way when the bagging process finishing up, was Robert Jonsson (Deerfield Beach, FL), who comes into "moving day" with 505,600.  Followers of the blog may remember Jonsson from the final table of Event #15 ($1,100 No Limit Hold'em), where he finished in fifth place ($8,349).  Some other notables to bag top stacks from Day 1C, included Nissin Vaknin (367,900), Frank Lerczak (293,600), Andres Morales (190,900), Al Gomez (127,100), and Sheddy Siddiqui (115,800).

The official numbers from the opening flights of Event #21 (with registration still open until the cards are in the air at 12:00pm) saw a combined total of (392) entries.  From that number, (93) players are returning for Day 2, looking to get their hands on a piece of the $529,200 prize pool.
