BATB Event #14 ($1,500 NLH Championship): Ory Hen In As Satellite Winner, Hoping To Parlay Into A Big Score

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #14 | $1,500 NLH Championship ($500,000 GTD)

Level 2 (Blinds 75/150/25) | Structure
Total Flight 1C Entries: 68

Walking into the poker room, Ory Hen must have felt like he already won something, as he was able to save $1,325 on this initial tournament buy-in.

Tournament veteran Ory Hen (Cooper City, FL) was going to be in this event regardless, but ended up getting in for a fraction of the buy-in, after winning one of the thirteen available satellite seats last night ($175 No Limit Hold'em).  For those that play in this Florida-based circuit, Ory is someone who needs no introduction, with over $1,293,000 in lifetime earnings.  Hen is a consummate professional, who can more often than not, be found at the table with a big smile (unless he takes a bad beat).  Ory has recorded ten results to this point in the year, four of which were final table finishes.  His last result here at the Isle Poker Room came back in February, when he finished 13th in the "February $100,000," a $360 No Limit Hold'em multi that was run standalone ($1,605).

Ory is just one of many notables in the field for the first time this tournament, joining names like:
