Isle Open Event #1 (Flight 1A): Rizzuto Returns To Tournament Action, Hoping To Pick Up Where He Left Off

2018 Isle Open | Event #1
$200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 6 (Blinds 300/500/500)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 61

Michael Rizzuto (Pompano Beach, FL) has been absent from the Isle Casino Pompano Park tournament scene for a while, but is looking to making his triumphant return in this opening event of the 2018 Isle Open.

It's been over a year since Michael Rizzuto (Pompano Beach, FL) has recorded a tournament cash, after having a pretty successful month during the 2017 Florida State Poker Championships.  Rizzuto cashes in three events during the series, including the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event ($500,000 GTD).  Those results, along with a Hard Rock cash the following month, brought Rizzuto's lifetime earnings to $112,349.  Michael's career best result came during the 2014 Florida State Poker Championships, when he was part of a ten-way chop that ended Event #7 ($115 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD).  His third place share was worth $10,287, and still stands as his second largest tournament cash.

Rizzuto headlines the first list of notables in this afternoon's field, joining the likes of:
