Isle Poker Classic Event #1 (Flight 1G): With The Guarantee In The Rear-View Mirror, Final Flights Get Underway

2018 Isle Poker Classic (Event #1)
$200 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack"
$100,000 GTD
Level 1 (Blinds 100/100)
Total Flight 1G Entries: N/A


Six opening flights for Event #1 of the Isle Poker Classic are now in the books, with the event already attracting incredibly impressive numbers.  Entering play today, the tournament field sits at (661) entries, which equates to a prize pool of $104,438.  The $100,000 guarantee that was posted on the event was eclipsed during last night's flight (Flight 1F), with the final number expected to eclipse $135,000.  The "monster stack" element of the tournament has been a huge hit with the players, and will allow for some very deep Day 2 play tomorrow (Day 2 begins at 12:00pm).  

There are just two Event #1 flights remaining, with the first of the pair getting underway just moments ago.  Everyone is currently looking up at Chad Whitman, who bagged the overall Day 2 chip lead (during Flight 1E) play, returning to a stack of 597,000 tomorrow.  It's a lofty goal for those still yet to bag, but is definitely attainable.  A full list of Day 2 chip counts will be posted shortly, followed by our first look at notables in today's field.
