$175 NLH $100,000 GTD (Flight 1A): Family First For Balzano...But Then Back To Vegas

$175 No Limit Hold'em
$100,000 Guaranteed
Level 5 (Blinds 150/300/25 )
Total Flight 1A Entries: 40

Paul Balzano (Sunrise, FL) is taking a break from the grind of the WSOP, but not from the actual grind of tournament poker.

Paul Balzano (Surnise, FL) was thought to have been one of those referenced players that was in Las Vegas (for the WSOP), but he was just spotted in the Flight 1A field.  He had been out in Las Vegas for the beginning of the WSOP, but returned home for his daughter's recital this week.  With the weekend free, Balzano chose to try and grab a piece of this six-figure prize pool, sitting down just moments before players went on their first break.  Paul has over $1,376,000 in career tournament earnings, including a title win in the 2017 Isle Poker Open $1,500 NLH Championship Event ($112,075).  Paul's most recent Isle Casino Poker Room tournament cash came back in January, when he reached the final three tables of the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) multi (21st Place - $1,425).
