BATB Event #14 ($1,500 NLH Championship): Damien Simon Is Looking For Some Of That Newly Engaged Run-Good

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #14 | $1,500 NLH Championship ($500,000 GTD)
Level 4 (Blinds 150/300/50) | Structure
Total Flight 1C Entries: 131

Damien Simon (Hialeah, FL) and Gili Prizament have long been coming to the Isle Poker Room as a boyfriend and girlfriend...and will soon be returning as husband and wife.

Damien Simon (Hialeah, FL) is no stranger to the Isle Poker Room, spending much of his time playing cash, but also dabbling in a little tournament action.  Simon happened to win a seat into this event during last night's $175 No Limit Hold'em satellite, and may contribute that to his recent "life run-good."  Simon got engaged just last week, to long time girlfriend (and also Isle Poker regular) Gili Prizament.  Having just invested a nice amount on an engagement ring, a deep run in this event would likely be well received by Simon.  Congrats to both Damien and Gili, who have both been featured on the blog numerous time before!!!!

Players are now on their second break of the day, and will be returning to Level 5, with new blinds of 200/400/50.  The field is now just (35) entries away from the posted guarantee, which should be reached at some point before the flight's end.
