Isle Classic Event #18 (Flight 1C): With Registration Window Closing, Thor Saves Himself Another Buy-In

2017 Isle Classic | Event #18
$175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 8 (Blinds 300/600/75)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 128

Jamie Wiegrefe (pictured left) doubled through Allan Bieler (right), getting his stack above the starting number.

With registration open through the break after this level, the shorter stacked players are looking for a spot to try and double, as was the case with Jamie Wiegrefe (Miami, FL).  After action at Table 6 folded around to Wiegrefe in the small blind, he'd complete for 600, with the big blind (Allan Bieler) raising to 2,000.  Jamie then three-bet shoved for 10,550, with Bieler making the call, and watching as "Thor" turned over A♠ K♥.  The limp-shove worked for Wiegrefe, who was in a dominating position against K♣ J♠, and ended up getting the A♣ 9♦ 3♥ 10♥ A♦ runout.

Allan Bieler - 30,000 (50bb)

Jamie Wiegrefe - 23,200 (38bb)

Players will head on their second break of the day at the conclusion of this level, returning to Level 9, with new blinds of 400/800/100.  Once players are back in their seats, we will take the first look at updated chip counts from the field.
