Tuesday, January 17th: Blake Earns Isle Classic "Double", "Monster Stack" And "Tuesday $10K" Return

Andrew Blake (Boynton Beach, FL)
Yesterday's Isle Poker Classic schedule saw two bounty events on the schedule, both of which ended in a chop.  The first tournament, a $125 No Limit Hold'em w/ $25 Bounties ($20,000 Guarantee) event, attracted a total of (228) entries.  The prize pool was over $16,400, and while the first place prize that was posted was $4,595, Andrew Blake (Boynton Beach, FL) earned $2,203 for the "winner's share" in a nine-way deal.  Receiving the "winner's share" is becoming a regular thing for Blake, who less than a week ago, took down Event #7 in a heads-up chop.  Blake earned $4,950 for his share of a heads-up chop, and would have to be considered the "Player Of The Series" to this point of the Isle Poker Classic.

The agreement was spread pretty evenly amongst those involved, with the difference in first and ninth place money just under $1,400.  The full results will be posted to the blog, including a list of the (26) other players to cash in the event.

Yesterday's evening event (Event #13) was a $100 No Limit Hold'em "Deepstack Turbo" w/ $25 Bounties ($5,000 Guarantee).  The tournament also ended up in a
Adel Jo (Miami, FL)
chop, but this time it was heads-up, with Adel Jo (Miami, FL) earning his second Isle Poker trophy in the last five weeks.  Adel earned $1,583 for the win, with Alberto Weber ($1,000) taking home $1,000 for his second place finish.  The full results from this event will also be posted to the blog, including the list of the (7) other players to cash in the event.
