$140 NLH "Bankroll Builder" (Flight 1G): Jay Romano Focusing On The Task At Hand, Looking For Second Isle Poker Title

"Bankroll Builder"
$140 No Limit Hold'em

$75,000 GTD
Level 6 (Blinds 300/500/500)
Total Flight 1G Entries: 100


Jay Romano (Parkland, FL) is looking forward...not back, and hopes to best his most recent effort from the WPT Deepstacks Main Event at Hard Rock.

These final two flights of the "Bankroll Builder" can also be looked at as a "second chance," considering the fact that Day 2 of the WPT Deepstacks event is to begin at Hard Rock in (30) minutes.  Since there is no Day 2 registration for that tournament, those that were unable to bag over there, will likely take a shot in one of these flights.  Jay Romano (Parkland, FL) is an example of one of those players, now seated at Table 1.  Romano is coming off his best statistical year of tournament poker, highlighted by his 3rd place finish in the opening event of the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open ($570 No Limit Hold'em).  His third place share of the three-way chop that ended the event was $160,000, a number that stands as his largest career cash.  That happened to be Jay's only recorded result of 2018, and he's already matched that number (of cashes) this year, recording a result in the most recent Lucky Hearts Poker Open.  Romano now has over $338,000 in lifetime earnings, and looks to add to that in tomorrow's Day 2 (pending he reaches that point).  

Some other earlier notables in the Flight 1G field include:

Alan Greenstein
Steve Olivier
Benjamin Robinson
David Coughlin
Moshe Wasser
David Clark
Yi Ding
Gary Fitzgerald
Bruno Fortin

Carlos Torres Vazquez
