BATB Event #1 (Flight 1A): Linke Loves These Multi-Flight Events

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 3 (Blinds 75/150) | Structure 
Total Flight 1A Entries: 81

Diane Linke (Delray Beach, FL) is right at home in this large field (multi-flight) events, but had seen most of her success come in the $360 buy-in variety.

Diane Linke (Delray Beach, FL) may look at poker as something recreational, but you'd never know by looking at her tournament resume.  Her career earnings of over $68,000 is impressive, but becomes even more eye-opening, knowing that over $61,000 of that number was from just last year alone.

Linke started the year off with a final table in the WSOP Circuit Ladies Event at Palm Beach Kennel Club, but it wasn't until the summer, that she would "announce" herself to the tournament community.    Diane topped a nine-way chop during Event #7 of the Florida State Poker Championships ($360 No Limit Hold'em), bossing the field on her way to a career highlighting cash of $32,500.  While that may have been the headlining moment of her poker year, she also had an $18,000 score in November, when she took fifth place money in a chop that ended the "November $200,000" (another $360 No Limit Hold'em event).

Overall, Linke recorded sixteen cashes in 2017, with all but one coming here at the Isle Poker Room. Diane was one of the first entries in today's field, and is hoping to bag up some chips on just one attempt.
