Monday, January 16th: Shannon's Second Chance, Isle Poker Classic's "Bounty Monday"

Yesterday blog coverage was solely focused on the Event 10 live coverage, but there was a "Second Chance" tournament that was in play just as the chop was being made.  Event 11 of the 2017 Isle Poker Classic was a $75 No Limit Hold'em $15,000 Guarantee tournament, which attracted a total of (165) entries.  There was a small overlay for the tournament, with the prize pool event at $15,000, and a $4,645 posted first place prize.

The tournament ended once players reached the final table, with the ten remaining players agreeing to what would become the second ICM chop of the day.  Michael Shannon (Boca Raton, FL) would be declared the "winner," taking home the tournament's trophy, as well as a $3,171 payday.  Other Isle Poker notables to be part of the chop included Hector Caraballo (4th Place), Jean Chery (5th Place), and Pedro Palacio (10th Place).

On the Isle Poker Classic schedule are two bounty events, the 11:00am ($125 buy-in) offers a $20,000 guarantee, while the 6:00pm ($100 buy-in) is a Turbo Deepstack, and offers a guarantee of $5,000.
