$200 NLH "Isle New Year Kickstart" (Flight 1E): To No Surprise, Flight 1E Of The "Kickstart" Firing Right Out Of The Gate

"Isle New Year Kickstart"
$200 No Limit Hold'em

$100,000 GTD
Level 3 (Blinds 100/200/200)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 70

Blaine McRae (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) has made a habit of final tabling recurring events here at the Isle, but will never shy away from a multi that offers value such as this tournament.

We are only three levels into Flight 1E, and it's already clear that things are going to be even busier than the afternoon flight from yesterday (Flight 1C).  The tournament area has seven active tables at the moment, with that number expected to grow, with still five levels of open registration remaining.  One of the first notables spotted in the field may not be a name familiar to those following the "live blogged coverage" of major events, but if you are checking the results on a daily basis, than you recognize Blaine McRae (Ft. Lauderdale, FL).  McRae is a recurring event "crusher" here at the Isle, cashing in what seems like numerous events every week.  In 2018, he totaled over $25,600 in tournament earrings, most of which were from recurring event results.  Blaine did have one headlining score just under a year ago, when he was part of a six-way chop in a $250 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) event (outside of a series, here at the Isle Poker Room).  His sixth place share of the chop was worth $10,620, and still stands as Blaine's largest tournament cash.

McRae is joined in this early Flight 1E field by other notables, such as:

Stuart Greenbaum
Yi Ding
Daniel Genachte
Allan Bieler
Joseph Mancuso
Zaki Lichaa
Michael Weinberg
Abraham Mevorah
Vicki Holmes
William Reich
Ariel Rosello
