"$175 NLH $100,000 GTD" (Flight 1A): Shlomo Maman Hoping To Capture The Magic From Last Month's $175 NLH $100,000 GTD

Shlomo Maman (N. Miami, FL) had great success in last month's $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD), which was part of the 2018 Battles At The Beach schedule.

Just over a month ago, the 2018 Battles At The Beach series was starting, with a $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) kicking off the action.  The tournament, which mirrors this event we are currently covering (in schedule and structure), ended up attracting (958) entries, and closed with an official prize pool of $122,610.  The event ended in a five-way deal, with Shlomo Maman (N. Miami, FL) winning his first ever Isle Poker "major."  The trophy win was worth $15,615, which was equal to about half of Shlomo's career earnings at the time.  It was Maman's first five-figure score since 2011, when he made a deep run in a $10,000 No Limit Hold'em tournament during the Seminole Hard Rock Showdown (34th Place - $27,019).

Maman frequents the cash game tables much more than he does tournament, but is one of many notables in this early Flight 1A field.  Some other recognizable names and faces in the tournament area include:

Paulius Bikus

Frank Scala
