Isle Open Event #3 (Flight 1G): Reaching The Midway Point Of Event #3, On Pace To Surpass $100,000 Guarantee

2018 Isle Open | Event #3
$100 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 1 (Blinds 100/100)
Total Flight 1G Entries: N/A


Six flights down...eight more to go...continuing with this afternoon's Flight 1G.  When the Isle Open schedule first came out, a lot of players looked at this tournament with a little bit of curiosity, wondering if that sized guarantee could be reached.  From what we've seen over the first three days of the event, it looks like that that answer is leaning towards "yes."

After the first six flights, there have been a total of (573) entries, of which (62) players are scheduled to return for Monday's Day 2.  The prize pool heading into the day is $42,975, and with a strong showing this afternoon, we should reach the $50,000 mark at some point.  While Raul Hernandez still sits as one of the two players in line for the chip lead bonus, Kenneth Berman overtook the top spot yesterday afternoon, bagging 411,500 to end Flight 1E.  It's a big number, but with eight flights still remaining, Kenneth's lead is by no means safe.

A new group of players are about to get started, with the first hand of Flight 1G to be dealt momentarily.  Official chip counts from the first six flights will be posted during Level 2, with updates from the field to follow.
