BATB Event #1 (Flight 1E): Gilkey's Good Run At The Table Games Has Him Back In The Field

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 6 (Blinds 200/400/50) | Structure 
Total Flight 1E Entries: 145

Christopher Gilkey (West Palm Beach, FL) knew that a break was upcoming, so after he busted the day's first entry, he jumped over the the three card poker table.

For those that follow the action for afar, or have never physically been in the poker room...there are also table games available in the casino (located right outside the poker room).  Players have the option to choose between Ultimate Texas Hold'em or Three Card Poker, both with minimum bets that start at $5.  After getting eliminated by Ellton Chester (in the prior mentioned hand), Christopher Gilkey (Lake Worth, FL) headed to the Three Card Poker table, where he ended up catching fire.  Some of the winnings then became a second entry into today's flight, for the Isle Open trophy winner.  Gilkey headed a chop of the opening event, which was also a $175 No Limit Hold'em event.  The "win" was worth $13,765, which still stands as his largest career tournament cash.
