Isle Classic Event #18 (Flight 1E): Canelstein Pushing Away Customers, Players Reaching End Of Registration

2017 Isle Classic | Event #18
$175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 8 (Blinds 300/600/75)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 170

We saw Glen Canelstein (Coconut Creek, FL) top the leaderboard during yesterday's Flight 1C, but he was unable to reach the bagging process.

Glen Canelstein (Coconut Creek, FL) was featured on the blog during yesterday's Flight 1C coverage, taking a line eerily similar to what we just saw at Table 4.  After making trips on the turn (in a multi-way pot), Canelstein bet 25,000 into a pot of 14,000, causing the rest of the players in the hand to release their hand.

In the hand we were just present for, five players were on a flop of J♠ 8♠ 4♦.  The pot had 3,700 in the middle, and Zaki Lichaa had just bet out 1,000.  One of the players made the call, and with action on Canelstein, he'd raise all-in (for over 35,000).  The sizing of the raise seemed to raise a few eyebrows at the table, including those of Stephen Smith, who thought for a few minutes before folding his hand.  The rest of the players followed suit, with Glen saying to the table, "nobody had anything to chase?" 

Canelstein proceeded to turn over 4♠ 4♥, having flopped bottom set...and potentially leaving some value on the table.  It's only the midway point of the flight, but Glen may be looking back at that hand later on, thinking about what could have been.

Players are about to take their second break of the day, which signifies the end of registration for the flight.  Once the cards are in the air for Level 9 (400/800/100), the only time left to register for Event #18, will be the 6:00pm flight (Flight 1F).
