Level 4 (Blinds 100/200) | Structure
Total Flight 1E Entries: 120

| Michael Marks (North Lauderdale, FL) would have to be considered a favorite in any multi-flight event at the Isle Poker Room, with his recent history in these tournaments. |
To say that Michael Marks (North Lauderdale, FL) started off the year strong, would be nothing less than an understatement. Within the first five weeks of 2018, Marks recorded two five figure scores, including a win in a $250 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) event in late January. The "win" was first place money in a six-way deal that ended the tournament, which was worth $20,094. The following week, Marks would be part of a three-way deal that ended a $360 No Limit Hold'em multi (with a $100,000 GTD), worth $14,499. Add the fourth place money from a multi he chopped in November of 2017 ($8,631), and it's no surprise Michael has eclipsed the $100,000 mark in lifetime earnings.
Marks has a sense comfort in this large field events, and now the knowledge and experience that it takes to make multiple deep runs. One thing that may help, is the familiarity and history with players he shares the table with, as we see many more notables in todays field (that frequent these multi-flight tournaments):
Pedro Palacio
Eric Mutschler
Daniel Genachte
Sean Mooney
Craig Witz
David Albertson
Zaki Lichaa
Moshe Wasser
Haim Toorgeman
Players will be taking their first break at the end of this level, returning to Level 5, and new blinds of 150/300/25.
