$200 NLH "Isle New Year Kickstart" (Flight 1G): Scott Harwood Falling In Line With The Family Name

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

$100,000 GTD
Level 4 (Blinds 200/300/300)
Total Flight 1G Entries: 152

Scott Hardwood (New York, NY) came into the day brimming with confidence (off his most recent score), but was welcomed with aces cracked just moments into his session.

If you've played tournament poker in South Florida, than you likely know the names Loni Harwood...and Joel Harwood.  Loni is a WSOP bracelet winner with over $2,918,000 in lifetime earnings, and is widely considered one of the best tournament players in the country.  Joel, who is Loni's father, also has a pretty impressive tournament resume (boasting over $240,000 in earnings).  The Harwood that players may not know so well is Scott, who broke out onto the poker scene last year.  

Scott had over $61,700 in earnings over the past twelve months, capping his year off with at $23,670 score during the most recent Fun In The Sun series (two weeks ago at Seminole Hard Rock).  Harwood took sixth place money in the deal, which now stands as the largest tournament cash of his career.  Scott has some work to do in order to catch up to his sister (and father), but if last year was a sign of things to come, it won't take long for Harwood to make a name for himself in the community.

Scott headlines the second look at notables in the field, joining the likes of:
