It's the reason that poker players enter satellites...for the opportunity to parlay a smaller buy-in into a large tournament score.  Ido Ashkenazi (Queens, NY) is the $2,500 Single-Day winner, just (24) hours after winning a seat in the $340 Package Satellite.  Ashkenazi earns his fifth ever tournament win, which also happens to be the fourth largest cash of his tournament career.  We will see Ashkenazi this weekend as well, as the package satellite he won also included a seat into Event #1 of the Isle Classic (which begins today).

WSOP bracelet winner Chris Bolek (Boca Raton, FL) is another player who is very selective about the tournaments he plays, normally focusing on the highest limit cash games runs here at the Isle Poker Room.  Chris fell just short of his second Isle Poker tournament title, after winning the $2,500 Isle Classic Main Event in 2013.  Bolek will have an opportunity to repeat that feat this weekend, as the $1,500 Isle Classic Main Event begins later this afternoon.
