$200 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack"
$100,000 GTD
Level 1 (Blinds 100/100)
Total Flight 1A Entries: N/A
As the calendar year comes to a close, the final major series of 2018 begins, with the first hand about to be dealt in Event #1 (of the 2018 Isle Poker Classic). The opening tournament of the nine-event series is a $200 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack," which boasts a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool. This "monster stack" is something new to the series, as players will be sitting down to starting stacks of 30,000 units. The levels throughout the event will last (30) minutes, with registration during each of the starting flight, open through Level 8 (and the break that follows). There are eight starting flights in total, playing out over the next four days, each of which are scheduled to end at the conclusion of Level 16 (unless the 10% mark is reached before that point).
While this particular event wasn't on the schedule during last year's Isle Poker Classic, it's equivalent (the $175 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD) was a very memorable tournament. The event attracted a total of (919) entries, and an official prize pool of $125,065. The action ended in a six-way deal, with notable Al Gomez (Miami Beach, FL) topping the chop, earning himself $13,350.
Similar numbers are expected for this tournament, with the 1,000 entry mark a very realistic possibility. We will allow some time for the tournament area to fill up, before live blogged coverage begins for Flight 1A.
