$200 NLH "Isle New Year Kickstart" (Flight 1G): It's A Full House, As The Prize Pool Continues To Balloon

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

$100,000 GTD
Level 3 (Blinds 100/200/200)
Total Flight 1G Entries: 132

Ian Cohen (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) looked to be making a pained call when he was photographed, but it ended up being the right one, and he'd increase his stack to close to 30,000.

To put this into perspective, just two levels into action, today's field is already larger than four of the completed flights to this point.  Word has spread about the incredible success of the event, and we are seeing lots of faces that weren't present earlier in the week.  One player taking his first shot at bagging in the event is Ian Cohen (Ft. Lauderdale, FL).  Cohen had put in solid tournament volume earlier last year, but focused more on cash games after the summer.  He did have over $15,400 in earnings in 2018, highlighted a trophy win in the $250 No Limit Hold'em "Single-Ante" ($30,000 GTD) event, that ran during the Battles At The Beach ($5,774).  Ian's last recorded result came in November, when he chopped the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Survivor" ($3,000 GTD) event, that has become a staple of the recurring schedule.

Cohen headlines the first look at notables in the field, which includes names like: 

George Lukawski
Willie Wiggins
Gary Fitzgerald
Jose Parra
Thomas Millward
Michael Corbett
William Underdown
Blaine McRae
Richard Leger
Richard Wetter
Kenneth Berman
Trent Smith
