BATB Event #14 ($1,500 NLH Championship): Zarcadoolas Continues Solid Form, In The Midst Of Another Strong Year

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

Level 3 (Blinds 100/200/25) | Structure
Total Flight 1C Entries: 106


Matthew Zarcadoolas (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) is in great form, and is hoping to record his second six-figure score of the year in this event.

Matthew Zarcadoolas (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) recorded his first tournament results in 2012, but didn't break out until November of 2016, when he final tabled the $3,500 NLH Rock N' Roll Poker Open Championship Event.  He'd end up finishing in seventh place, and earned the largest cash over his career (to that point), taking home $87,552.  Matthew would just end up cracking the $100,000 mark in earnings for 2016, and then followed that up with $136,023 in earnings over 2017.  Those numbers are soon going to be in the rear-view mirror for Zarcadoolas, as he's already banked $121,889 worth of cashes this year.  A majority of that number came earlier this January, when he final tabled the opening event of the Lucky Hearts Poker Open, which was an $1,100 buy-in WPT DeepStacks event.  Matthew finished third in the event, and got his hands on a first ever six-figure score, earning $100,579 for the result.  Zarcadoolas's largest Isle Poker cash came back in June of 2016 ($340), so it's safe to say, that a score in this event would be the largest he's booked in this room.
