Isle Open Event #3 (Flight 1K): Another Event #3 "First Timer," But No Stranger To The Game

2018 Isle Open | Event #3
$100 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 7 (Blinds 200/400/400)
Total Flight 1K Entries: 142

Nigel Murray (Miami Gardens, FL) hasn't been nearly as visible as he used to be (in tournaments), but he's one of the many notables in today's Flight 1K field.

For the first five days of this event...in fact...for the first three events of this series, Nigel Murray (Miami Gardens, FL) had been a no-show.  It shouldn't come as too much of a surprise though, as his tournament volume has been down this year.  After (14) recorded cashes last year (for a total of $137,941), Nigel has just three results this year (totaling $4,057).  Murray had always been a fixture at events in the area, having amassed over $732,000 in lifetime earnings.  He has two Isle Poker titles to his name, including a trophy win, during the 2011 Battles At The Beach.  Nigel has a lot of work to do in order to match that impressive number from last year, but an Event #3 win would be a great stepping stone towards the goal.

The second wave of notables in the Flight 1K field, headlined by Nigel Murray, also consists of names like:

Scott Levitt
Stanton Drazen
Elliot Zaydman
Pascuale Calaza
Nagui Yassa
Errol Gunter
Alberto Niebla
Thomas Puccio
Richard Leger
Steve Olivier
