$360 NLH $50,000 GTD (Flight 1A): Rodney Moret-Rojas Making A Habit Of Final Tabling Isle Poker Major Events

$360 No Limit Hold'em
$50,000 GTD
Level 3 (Blinds 100/200/200)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 41


Rodney Moret-Rojas (Troy, MI) feels like he's going to win each time he sits at a tournament table here at the Isle, and who could blame him, with two big scores in the past four months.  

Rodney Moret-Rojas (Troy, MI) was a name we'd seen numerous times since the inception of the Isle Poker Room's blog, but since October of last year, he's been one of the primary focuses.  Rodney first won Event #6 of the 2018 Isle Open, which was a $360 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD).  He took first place money in a four-way deal, which was worth $25,711.  At the time, Moret-Rojas wasn't in love with the idea of chopping, but couldn't pass up the value of the ICM numbers.  

Fast forward three months, and Moret-Rojas found himself once again at a major final table, this time during the $200 No Limit Hold'em "Isle New Year Kickstart" ($100,000 GTD).  With nine players remaining in the tournament, Rodney was posed with a potential ICM deal, again holding the chip lead at the time of the talks.  It look a slight bit of time before he would agree to the chop, but eventually came to terms with a $18,764 score.

It's no surprise that Rodney is back in the field today, as he joins a group of players to arrive in the last thirty minutes:
