| Jake Schwartz (New York, NY) knew that he could enter Day 2 with close to (35) big blinds, so it was an easy decision to pass on the starting days, and take the weekend off from tournament poker. |
The open registration through Level 12 gave players the option to pass on the weekend's starting flight, and just show up this afternoon (with play resuming in Level 10). Jake Schwartz (New York, NY) would have normally played in one of the starting days, but decided to take the weekend off to celebrate, having just recorded his second largest tournament cash.
The WPT BestBet Bounty Scramble ($5,000 No Limit Hold'em) always falls on the schedule the week prior to this Isle Open Main Event, with many of the notables we know here at the Isle, taking a trip to Jacksonville to play in the tournament. Schwartz is no stranger to the WPT, having made three final tables prior to this year's BestBet event. He would reach his fourth last week, and while he fell short of the ultimate goal, Jake did earn $228,590 for his second place finish. As mentioned earlier, the result is the second largest of Jake's career, behind his fourth place finish in the 2015 WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic ($412,187).
Jake Schwartz - 40,000 (25bb)
