BATB Event #1 (Flight 1A): Zaydman Hoping To Record Fifth Straight Final Table Finish

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 4 (Blinds 100/200) | Structure 
Total Flight 1A Entries: 85

Elliot Zaydman (Glenrock, NJ) has one of the most impressive tournament resumes in this Flight 1A field, with over $643,000 in career earnings.

The last time Elliot Zaydman (Glenrock, NJ) was featured on the blog, it was during the "February $50,000 II," a $175 No Limit Hold'em tournament that was run less than a month ago.  Cruising for much of the tournament, Zaydman found himself short stacked once play was six-handed, and was eliminated by the tournament's eventual winner (Mitchell Smith) in sixth place.

The result was worth $2,870, and while it was by far the largest cash of his career, it was significant in one fashion...it was his fourth straight final table result of 2018.  Elliot recorded a final table cash during the Lucky Hearts Poker Open ($300 Limit Omaha 8B), February Big Slick ($1,000 No Limit Hold'em), WSOP Circuit ($250 No Limit Hold'em Seniors), and the tournament mentioned above.

A final table finish in this event would likely see a return more than all of those listed results combined, but first Elliot has to focus on bagging chips for Wednesday's Day 2.  He's off to a good start this afternoon, already above the 20,000 starting stack.

Players will be taking their first break at the end of this level, returning to Level 5, and new blinds of 150/300/25.  It will also mark the halfway point of open registration for this opening flight, with the window closing as Level 9 begins.
