| The dealers are getting a little creative in the tournament area, as they welcome players to their seats to begin the opening flight of Event #10. |
The dealers are seated across the tournament area, with the "early bird" players moments away from getting the cards in the air for Event #10. The $360 No Limit Hold'em tournament boasts a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool, with six starting flights over the next three days. Each of the starting flights is structured the same, with starting stacks of 20,000 units. Levels 1-15 will be (30) minutes, and will transition to (40) minutes Levels 16+ (which is Day 2). The chip leader from each flight will earn a "bonus," which is entry into Event #16 ($1,100 No Limit Hold'em $50,000 Guaranteed).
Looking back at the history of the Isle Classic, the last time a tournament similar to this was run, was back in January of 2015. The tournament was a $350 buy-in, and happened to be the opening event of the series (Event #1). The $300,000 guaranteed prize pool was surpassed by almost $60,000, as a total of 1,231 entries made up the field. The event ended in a heads-up chop, with Rob Brown ($68,593) taking home the trophy, and Sheddy Siddiqui ($60,000) runner-up honors.
Live coverage of this starting flight will continue through the bagging process, as will the two afternoon flights to follow. All of the official chip counts from each flight will be posted here on the blog, as well as Day 2 seating assignments. We will allow the tournament area to fill up, before taking a look at some of the notables that make up this opening flight of Event #10.
