Isle Open Event #3 (Flight 1I): They've Always Said, "If You Build It, They Will Come"

2018 Isle Open | Event #3
$100 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 5 (Blinds 200/400/400)
Total Flight 1I Entries: 80

Phillip Hui (San Antonio, TX) would normally pass on a $100 buy-in tournament, but saw the value in this week's event, and is here for the second time in as many days.

Now Phillip Hui (San Antonio, TX) wouldn't usually seek out $100 buy-in no limit hold'em tournaments, but when one is available to play...that carries a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool, he's sometimes going to fire up a few entries.  Hui was here during yesterday's afternoon flight (Flight 1G), but was unable to reach the bagging process.  

The WSOP bracelet winner (2014) boasts the most impressive resume in this early field, with over $1,400,000 in lifetime tournament cashes.  While he's known in the community as a mixed-game player, Hui has shown his no limit hold'em chops lately, making three final tables in the past three months, which included a 3rd place finish in the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em event during the Florida State Poker Championships.  The result was worth $31,755, and currently stands as his best cash of this year.
