Isle Classic Event #10 (Flight 1A): Jose Parra Progressively Stepping Up His Game

2017 Isle Classic | Event #10
$360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 5 (Blinds 150/300/50)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 41


Jose Parra (Hialeah Gardens, FL) had his breakout score in 2013, when he finished 
runner-up to Stephen Bokor in the Battles At The Beach $3,300 Main Event.

Jose Parra's (Hialeah Gardens, FL) tournament resume began in 2012, when he recorded cashes in a handful of events, totaling just over $7,000.  He then had his breakout score during the 2013 Battles At The Beach $3,300 No Limit Hold'em (Main Event), when he finished runner-up for $90,288.  Jose continued on for a few years, adding to his resume, before reaching his second five-figure score.  The $17.972 score came during the 2015 PPC Isle Casino Fall Series, and stands as his last score of that five-figure benchmark.  Parra has put in more volume this year though, entering events like the $2,500 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante, and most all of the major series main events.  His jump in buy-ins hasn't yet translated to larger scores, but he's seemingly on the precipice of something big, as his name in commonly found deep in events.

Jose is one of the most recent entries in the field, continuing the list of notables in today's afternoon flight:

Al Gomez
