Isle Open Event #1 (Flight 1A): First Look At Updated Chip Counts From The Field

2018 Isle Open | Event #1
$200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 10 (Blinds 600/1,200/1,200)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 73
Flight 1A Players Remaining: 29

Larry Kusch (Sumterville, FL) was given the nickname "donkey" by his friends, but at the moment, he's not living up to the moniker.

His nickname might be Larry "Donkey" Kusch (Sumterville, FL), but surely not playing like one...as Larry enters Level 10 as the Flight 1A chip leader.  Kusch was the first player to eclipse the 100,000 mark, and at the halfway point of Level 9, he had just over 120,000.  Earlier chip leaders Michael Eddy and Jacquelyn Scott are still towards the top of the leaderboard, with some new names emerging.  The chip counts posted below are from the later stages of Level 9:

Larry Kusch - 122,000 (101bb)
Michael Eddy - 95,000 (79bb)
Jacquelyn Scott - 95,000 (79bb)
Zachary Mullennix - 90,000 (75bb)
Lloyd Gunther - 85,000 (70bb)
Stanton Drazen - 60,000 (50bb)
Alberto Niebla - 58,000 (48bb)
Danny Blackburn - 55,000 (45bb)
Allan Bieler - 50,000 (41bb)
