$360 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 4 (Blinds 100/200/25)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 42

| Ido Ashkenazi (Queens, NY) was gracious enough to pose for a picture, even after losing close to half of his stack to an opponent that was shorter stacked. |
During one of the multi-flight events last November, the "chip lead bonus" was a seat into the $340 No Limit Hold'em Package Satellite, which awarded seats into the $2,500 NLH Single-Ante and the $1,500 NLH Isle Classic Championship Event. One of the players to bag a stack good enough for the bonus, was Ido Ashkenazi (Queens, NY), who ended up turning that bonus into a $43,240 payday.
Ido won a "package" from the $340 NLH Satellite, and ended up winning the $2,500 NLH Single-Ante, besting WSOP bracelet winner Chris Bolek, to win the title. The result was the fourth largest cash of Ashkenazi's career, bolstering an impressive resume that now has over $584,000 in career tournament earnings. The top four stacks heading to Day 2 (in this event) won't have to worry about winning a satellite, as they will earn direct entry into the end of month $2,500 NLH Single-Ante (February 23rd).
Some other players in this opening flight that are hoping to bag one of those bonuses include:
Tim Kegel
Ashley Causey
Arlene Vazquez
Jose Parra
Scott Zakheim
Walter Bravo
