BATB Event #1 (Flight 1A): The Notables Couldn't Stay Hidden For Long

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 6 (Blinds 200/400/50) | Structure 
Total Flight 1A Entries: 91

Whether it's to keep warm in the poker room...or a good luck charm...Thomas Gari (Hollywood, FL) can always be seen wearing his signature khaki jacket.

With the initial feature on some "new" names to the live blogged coverage, some of the notables were beginning to question when their attendance would be noted.  He would never ask for any "publicity," but Thomas Gari (Hollywood, FL) happened to be the first notable that was spotted in the field this afternoon.  Sitting directly in front of the media's table, Gari's poker "uniform" initially stood out, with his signature khaki jacket zippered up high (it's no joke, search his past pictures on the blog...Gari always wears that jacket during tournaments).

Thomas reached an important tournament milestone in October of last year, as he career earnings crossed the $100,000 mark.  He has since added a handful of cashes to the overall number, including a "Big Stack Turbo Bounty" win, earlier this year.  Joining Thomas on the list of notables in this Flight 1A field, are the following:

Moshe Wasser
Dwight Pinkerton
Craig Witz
Ian Cohen
Steven Bromfield
Andreas Athanasopoulos
Calixto Rodriguez
Michel Gariepy
Shlomo Maman
Elsie Rodrigues
