"February $100,000" (Flight 1C): Lang And Smith Representing For The Ladies

"February $100,000"
$360 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 5 (Blinds 150/300/50)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 70

Ellen Smith (Okeechobee, FL) is looking very elegant at the table, in action jus a few weeks after cashing during the 2017 Borgata Winter Poker Open.

We've seen a lot of Isle Poker tournament success from the ladies over the last few years, especially in major events and multis.  After the first pair of flights yesterday, Nancy Thomas was the "last lady standing," bagging 105,800 for tomorrow's Day 2.  There are only two ladies in the field at the moment, with Ellen Smith and Hoa Lang trying to join Thomas.  Smith is coming off a cash at the Borgata, finishing 101st in the $450 No Limit Hold'em Black Chip Bounty ($706).  Three of Ellen's four other cashes have come here at the Isle Poker Room, including a results during the $175 No Limit Hold'em event on the 2017 Isle Classic schedule.

Hoa Lang is just a week removed from a deep run in the $250 No Limit Hold'em ("January $100,000"), where she reached the final two tables, and ended up finishing in 19th place ($1,430).  The pair of women top our second list of notables in this Flight 1C field: 

Dmitry Agrachov
Allan Bieler
Ido Ashkenazi
Jason Atherley
Richard Leger
Greg Rosen
Tim Kegel
Hari Sukhu
Rodney Moret-Rojas

Players will be taking their second break of the day at this level's conclusion, returning to Level 6, and new blinds of 200/400/50.  Once action does resume, we will feature the first updated chip counts list from the field.
