Isle Classic Event #18 (Day 2): Betancourt Picking Up Where He Left Off

2017 Isle Classic | Event #18
$175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 18 (Blinds 3,000/6,000/500)
Total Event #18 Entries: 919
Event #18 Players Remaining: 118

Gilbert Betancourt (Miami Beach, FL) has only two recorded results on his Hendon Mob resume, but his play last night (along with the first level of Day 2) gives no reason to believe that lack of experience will hold him back.

Day 2 of Event #18 is already through one level, with fourteen players eliminated from the field over the course of the first (25) minutes.  Swift movement will likely be the trend for the day, as the level length does force the action, with the chip average already below thirty big blinds.  

One player that isn't worrying about the chip average is Gilbert Betancourt (Miami Beach, FL), the Flight 1F chip leader, and overall chip leader coming back for Day 2.  Gilbert is already off to a strong start this afternoon, knocking out a player moments ago, and adding to his already top stack (now sitting with over 600,000).  Betancourt will have to deal with some veteran tournament players at his table, including Tony Ruberto, Juan Rodriguez, and Scott Zakheim.
