Isle Open Event #1 (Flight 1A): Not A Terrible Way To Breakout...O'Brien Looking To Continue Solid Form

2018 Isle Open | Event #1
$200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 4 (Blinds 200/300/300)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 35

Tournament poker is clearly not Harry O'Brien's (Port St. Lucie, FL) pastime, but he might start playing more often, after a six-figure score just two weeks ago.

"When you were coming over to take my picture, I thought you were going to focus on the guy next to me...he finished third in the main," Kenneth Bruno mentioned (after seeing his featured post on the blog).  The player next to him that he was referencing, was Harry O'Brien (Port St. Lucie, FL), who finished third in the WSOP Circuit $1,700 No Limit Hold'em Main Event (at Coconut Creek).  The result was worth $101,219, and while that's an eye-popping number, the is a little fact that makes it even that much more impressive.  That tournament cash was just the second of O'Brien's career, with his first coming in December of last year (during a $350 No Limit Hold'em "special" event at Hard Rock).

The scenario is so far-fetched, that we had to confirm with Harry, whether the results yield were in fact correct.  "It is possible that you only have two lifetime tournament cashes, one of which was the most recent result at the WSOP Circuit...or are we missing something," was the questioned posed to Harry.  He just looked up with a smile and said "yes," confirming what was seemingly a dream run for O'Brien.

Players will be taking their first break of the day at the end of this level, returning to Level 5, and new blinds of 200/400/400.
