$360 NLH $50,000 GTD (Flight 1A): Jean Pierre Gagnon Entering Uncharted Waters, Heads To Registration Break With The Chip Lead

$360 No Limit Hold'em
$50,000 GTD
Level 8 (Blinds 400/800/800)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 58


Jean Pierre Gagnon (Quebec) may not be familiar to followers of the blog, but he's making his introduction in a big way.

Jean Pierre Gagnon (Quebec) is a relative unknown in our South Florida poker community, with just three tournament results on his resume.  Each of those cashes came here at the Isle Poker Room, with two during 2017's Battles At The Beach, and one during last year's Battle At The Beach.  While his lifetime earnings of $1,059 would leave some to believe there is inexperience in the tournament court, Gagnon only spends a short time in Florida each year (between here and Canada), so his forte could be cash games (or even online action).

Gagnon is going to let his results to the talking today though, as he is the first player to eclipse the century, and will head to the registration break with over 130,000.  As just mentioned, players will take a ten minute break after this level, at which point registration for Flight 1A will close.  We will bring all of the official numbers from the flight following that point, but those still interested in playing, have Flight 1B (3:00pm) and Flight 1C (6:00pm) to choose from.  

Jean Pierre Gagnon - 135,000 (168bb)
