| Dale Smith (Newnan, GA) was one of the first notables spotted in the field this afternoon, amongst a field that's littered with recognizable names and faces. |
Winning a tournament will always help a player get that "bug" to play events, as is the case with Dale Smith (Newnan, GA). Smith had a handful of Isle Poker cashes since 2014, but wasn't a player that we frequently saw in events. Then came the final multi-flight event on the November schedule, run over Thanksgiving weekend. The $250 No Limit Hold'em event boasted a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool, and ended up eclipsing that number, with a total of (571) entries. The tournament ended in a five-way deal, which was headed by Dale Smith ($16,281). It was the largest cash of Smith's career, and clearly has renewed his interest in tournament poker. Dale has since been in attendance of a number of Isle Classic events, and is already in today's field, looking to bag chips for tomorrow's Day 2. Also hoping to bag chips in Flight 1E are names like:
Craig Witz
David Inselberg
Maurice Hawkins
David Ward
Tom Gity
Dave Albertson
Al Gomez
William Underdown
Preecha Taepakdee
Marc Sacheli
Michael Tafuro
