"I'm going after Levy now," Scott Levitt said as we passed by his table, referencing Marc Levy, who was the chip leader from yesterday (Day 1A). This is the same Scott Levitt who was left with crumbs, after losing a 150,000 pot to Juan Martinez, back in Level 7. Levitt ended up busting that first attempt, but then re-entered shortly thereafter, and ended up grinding for a few levels.

Scott Levitt (Delray Beach, FL) had a moment of frustration earlier, but put that behind him, and is now flourished on his second attempt of the day. |
His evening then turned around as play returned from dinner, going on rush that players dream of, and turning his 40,000 stack into over 200,000. Levitt is now just a few thousand chips behind Juan Martinez, and looks to continue this upward trend over the final three levels of the night.

Event #15 winner Noel Atherley (Lantana, FL) was able to cruise to the final table last Sunday, after buying into the tournament just before Day 2 started. He chose a different route for this event, playing the first of three opening flights yesterday afternoon (Day 1A). Atherley wasn't successful in bagging chips last night, but returned this afternoon with his son (who was on his rail Monday afternoon). Noel's son has since exited the field, but he's currently doing a good job, holding it down for the family.

Noel Atherley (Lantana, FL) wasn't able to bag chips during yesterday's flight, but is now over the century mark, and looking like he's heading towards Day 2. |
Atherley called Kevin Chan's all-in just a few moments ago, holding K♣ 10♣ on a 10♠ 9♣ 4♣ 2♥ board, against Chan's Q♠ J♣ (for a pot worth close to 80,000). We approached the table just as the Q♣ hit the river, giving Chan a better pair, but completing Atherley's flush. Kevin would collect his things and exit the tournament field, while Noel chipped up to 120,000.

Bader is the only player in the field that is currently challenging Martinez for the top spot, sitting with 180,000. Bader has over $568,000 in lifetime earnings, and like so many others we've featured this series, is in the midst of his best statistical year of tournament poker. Bader has over $176,000 in earnings this year, and is coming off a final table cash during the WSOP Circuit $1,675 Main Event at Hard Rock (5th Place | $66,675).

Juan Martinez continues to go against everything we mentioned earlier, finding himself involved in what was the largest pot of the flight. We approached Table 7 on the flop (Q♣ 9♦ 5♥), with stacks of 38,200 in front of both Scott Levitt and Juan Martinez, and Ryan D'Angelo all-in for 21,225. Once the dealer got the side pot taken care of, she would place down the K♣ on the turn.

Both Ryan D'Angelo and Juan Martinez wait and watch, while Scott Levitt decides his next course of action. |
Scott Levitt casually tossed 15,000 toward the cards, with Juan Martinez immediately announcing himself all-in (for 17,675 more). Levitt voiced (and showed) his displeasure with the move, causing Martinez to say, "What did you think I was going to do, after I put half my stack in on the flop?" While the call seemed inevitable, Levitt did take some time with his decision, eventually putting the chips across his card (signifying a call).
"You could save them for later," Martinez said, just moments before the call was made...and he'd be correct. He rolled over J♦ 10♣, and had both players drawing dead, as Ryan and Scott held Ax Qx.
"Boom-shaka-laka," Martinez said in celebration, as the 150,000 pot helps him reassume the chip lead. Scott Levitt would be eliminated just five hands later.

Level 5 (Blinds 200/400/50)
Total Day 1B Entries: 85
An early chip lead in a tournament such as this Isle Open Championship is much different than other events, primarily because of the generous structure. In a tournament that has 25-30 minute levels, the climbing blinds catch up to these big stacks, as do the surrounding players in the field. To sit with a stack of (325) blinds in this stage of an event with fifty minute levels, is almost a free pass to the bagging process. Not only is the frequency of massive pots lower in a championship starting flight, but there just aren't enough stacks in the field that can compete (or cause significant damage).

Juan Martinez (Dade City, FL) leads the field as players are few minutes out of their second break of the day, currently sitting with 130,000. |
Look at the early chip leader from yesterday (Joshua Lowing), he ended up bagging just under 70,000, from a 150,000 peak. He was able to absorb a trio of rough levels to end the night, but will still enter Day 2 with (35) bigs.
The early Day 1B chip leader is Juan Martinez (Dade City, FL), and while he may not have the decorated resume that others in the field do, he does have recent run good on his side. Martinez has only two recorded results, but one of them was less than a month ago, and was worth over $20,000. Juan bubbled the final table of the WSOP Circuit Main Event ($1,675) at Hard Rock, finishing in eleventh place ($20,001). Martinez has over 130,000 in front of him, as players are about to head on their second break of the day.
Those still active in the field will return to Level 6, and new blinds of 250/500/75 (36,000 chip average). There will then be two more levels played, before the next break, which is the hour long dinner break.

The action of the mentioned hand was picked up on the turn of a board reading 2♣ 4♥ J♣ 5♦, with Steve Karp betting out 4,500 (into a pot just under 8,000). Luis Santoni made the call, along with Michael Marks, who was on the button. After the K♣ completed the board, Karp would bet once again, this time for 3,600. Santoni gave a good look at the board, before making the call, which was followed by Marks releasing his hand.
Steve Karp rolled over A♣ A♦, with Santoni standing from his chair, and tabling Q♣ 9♣. The rivered flush would give Luis the pot, and bring him above starting stack for the first time today.

One of the newest entrants was Christopher Bolek (Boca Raton, FL), a player that's no stranger to the Isle Poker Room. While a lot of his early career (tournament) success occurred in this room, Chris's volume of Isle Poker events just isn't what it used to be. A majority of his focus when in the room is on the highest limit cash games that a run, but he rarely misses events like the new $2,500 Single-Day Series, as well as championship events (such as this).

Scott Levitt (Delray Beach, FL) won his fourth Isle Poker major tournament earlier this series, which also happened to be his second Seniors Championship win. |
The Day 1B field is currently moving at a slower pace than yesterday (in terms of entries), but it's likely that things will pick up as the afternoon continues. For the past four years, there hasn't been a major tournament series main event that didn't see an increase in starting flight attendance (from start to finish).
This early afternoon field consists of a lot of new faces to the event, including Scott Levitt (Delray Beach, FL). Scott...or Joseph, depending on which Hendon Mob account you're looking at, has over $221,000 in lifetime tournament earnings (spread over two names on Hendon). His most recent result came earlier this series (just five days ago), when he won Event #16 ($175 No Limit Hold'em Seniors Championship, earning $2,414 for his efforts. The title was his fourth overall, in terms of Isle Poker major wins, and his second Seniors Championship win (2013 Isle Open).
Other players that are taking their first attempt at bagging in this event include:

Day 1B of the 2017 Isle Open $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Championship is about to see the first cards pitched, with Tournament Director Ralph Brandt currently finishing up the rules announcement. Yesterday's Day 1A action started very strong, and ended up reaching the bagging process with a total of (92) entries. Of those entries, there were (23) players that reached the end of play for the day, earning two days off, before returning to Day 2 on Sunday. Marc Levy bagged the Day 1A chip lead with 255,600, just edging out notable pro Barry Hutter (255,000). Also in the top five stacks bagged was Sam Panzica (220,400), who arrived at the Isle Poker Room less than (24) hours removed from a WPT final table at Best Bet Jacksonville. A full list of yesterday's chip counts will be posted shortly, as part of coverage for Day 1B.
This starting day is structured the same as the one that came before, and will come after it. Players in each of the three starting flights will sit down to 30,000 unit starting stacks, and will play levels that last (50) minutes. As the tournament progresses, those levels will transition to (60) at the beginning of Day 2 (Sunday at 12:00pm), and will continue that way until the tournament's conclusion (which is scheduled for Monday, October 30th). Registration for the event is open through each of the starting flights (which play until the conclusion of Level 12), and stays open until the cards are in the air for Day 2.
Friday, October 27th: Isle Open Championship Continues With Weekend Action
ICYMI: Yesterday was the opening day of action for the 2017 Isle Open $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Championship Event, a tournament with a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool. Day 1A of Event #21 attracted a total of (92) entries...a mixture of satellite winners, familiar faces from series, and notable names in town for this particular event. After twelve scheduled levels of play, a total of (23) players remained, bagging up chips for Sunday's Day 2 (12:00pm).
