"January $100,000 II" (Flight 1E): Parra Shifting Gears, Looking To Bookend The Month

"January $100,000 II"
$250 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 4 (Blinds 100/200/25)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 144

Jose Parra (Hialeah Gardens, FL) has to switch the his mindset from a $2,500 buy-in...to a $250 buy-in, but it's something he's done successfully before.

Jose Parra (Hialeah Gardens, FL) spent most of yesterday afternoon in the $2,500 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante ($100,000 GTD), but eventually fell short of cashing, and left the poker room shortly after being eliminated.  He's back in today's Flight 1E field, and while the starting stack and structure are slightly different, the final table payouts will be similar (just a lot more people to get through in order to get there).  

Jose already has a cash in an Isle Poker multi this month, reaching the final table of the "January $100,000," a $360 buy-in tournament that ran the first weekend of the year.  Parra ended up finishing in eighth place, and earned $3,690 for his efforts.  The result brought his career earnings north of $176,000, which he hopes to improve on with a deep run tomorrow afternoon.  Parra is just one of a large group of notables in the field, including:

Evan Teitelbaum
Andre Rakusa
Giovanni Cantitore
Morris Heider
Edward Novak
Yigal Hen
Fernando Pages
Robert Jonsson
Bryce McVay

Players will be heading on their first break in just a few minutes, returning to Level 5, and new blinds of 150/300/50.
