Flight 1E Players Remaining: 37

Players in Flight 1E are about to enter Level 14, and will be posting new blinds of 1,200/2,400/300 (63,000 chip average).  We've lost (7) players since returning from break, and figure to lose close to five players per level as we wrap things up.  Of the (37) players remaining in the flight, only six of them are above the 100,000 mark:

Bill Wagner - 140,000
Craig Schlesinger - 125,000
Michael Gariepy - 120,000
Darel Cahuasqui - 115,000

Flight 1E players are heading on their final break of the flight, and will be returning to Level 13, with new blinds of 1,000/2,000/300 (53,000 chip average).  To this point, we haven't seen a flight end with more than (15) players, so while there are still five tables active, you can expect things to pick up over the last four levels of the day.

Howard Foster (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)
Passing by Table 6, a hand was unfolding between Howard Foster (Ft. Lauderdale, FL), Michael Weinberg, and Darel Casuasqui.  On the flop of K♣ 3♥ J♥, Foster checked, followed by Weinberg betting out 3,500.  Both Foster and Casuasqui called, and the three players would watch as the board paired with the K♦ on the turn.

This time it would be Foster and Weinberg checking to Casuasqui, who would place forward a bet of 6,200.  Foster quickly pushed forward his stack of remaining chips (18,700), with Weinberg folding behind.  The decision was back on the field chip leader, who would take some time before acting, seemingly knowing he was behind.  Casuasqui tossed in the chips for a call, and the hands would be tabled.

Foster held a slight lead, holding K♥ 10♣, against the K♠ 4♠ of Casuasqui.  Darel needed to hit a four on the river to win the pot, and in order to chop, a card higher than 10 (or the board to pair a second time).  The river brought the 9♣, and Foster would earn the double, chipping up to 50,000.  Casuasqui took a small hit to his chip stack, and now sits with just over 70,000.

Event 16 (Flight 1E): Registration Closed, Updated Chip Counts

Level 9 (Blinds 400/800/100)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 94
Flight 1E Players Remaining: 59

Players returned from their second break of the day about (13) minutes ago, and with cards in the air for Level 9, registration is now closed for Flight 1E of Event 16.  This was the largest flight of the five that have been played, but the numbers still need to rise even higher in order to reach the $100,000 guarantee.  The final three flights need to see an average of (158) entries to reach "the number," which is definitely attainable over the course of the weekend.  We haven't seen any players really separate themselves from the field just yet, but here are some of the larger stacks (tallied at the beginning of Level 9):

Bill Wagner - 92,000
Darel Cahuasqui - 90,000
Michael Weinberg - 70,000
Craig Schlesinger - 63,000
Zakarya Wolgamott - 60,000
Luis Santoni - 55,000

As we wind down this year's installment of the Isle Poker Classic (after a year's hiatus), we can begin to look forward to the next "series" on the calendar.  The 2017 "Battle At The Beach" schedule offers a total of (17) events over the course of three weeks.  The three highlighting events of the series offer guarantees of $125,000 (Event 1), $200,000 (Event 8), and $500,000 (Event 14).  Over the course of the series, there will be (68) seats given away to the championship event via satellite, and two non-no limit hold'em events (Omaha 8B). Overall, this series boasts a total of $1,000,000 in guarantees, and is surely going to be something you want to circle on the calendar!

Frank Traino (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)

Walking past Table 11, Frank Traino (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) and Joe Niblett would be heads-up, on the turn with a board reading K♣ 10♠ 8♣ 5♥.  With over 15,000 already in the pot, Traino would check to Niblett, who tossed forward his remaining 15,200.  Traino thought for a few moments before calling the pot sized bet, putting Niblett at risk.

Niblett turned over 10♣ 10♦, but his set was at risk against the A♣ 5♣ of Traino, who needed a club to steal the hand away.  The river would bring the 7♣, and Traino's flush would give him the pot, and an early chip lead (with over 70,000).  Niblett quickly headed over to the tournament cashier, and is already back in the field.

Sandra Meyer (Weston, FL)

Sandra Meyer (Weston, FL) may not be a name familiar to followers of the blog, but to those players that frequent the daily tournament schedule, she's a name/face that they would recognize.  Meyer has (9) recorded results on her tournament resume, with live earnings totaling $6,592.  Those numbers are going to be a little skewed for a player like Meyer, who finds herself playing more "daily events" than she does "series" events.  The results of those daily events weren't always submitted to Hendon Mob, so while her resume shows no cashes for 2016, one would be hard fetched to think that Sandra didn't reach the money in any tournament over the course of the year.

There are a lot of players that prefer the "daily events," whether it's price point or scheduling, those players are the glue that holds the room together.  Some other notables joining Meyer in this Flight 1E field include:

Jeffrey Kessler
Mike Russo
Jennifer Arojado
Brian Hardy
Dwight Pinkerton
Ariel Rosello
Claude Ferland
Matthew Paul
Joseph Mancuso

Zakarya Wolgamott (Columbus, OH)

Most tournament players will tell you, one of the hardest things to do is find a bag when playing these multi-flight events.  Making the right decisions deep in a tournament, and final table play are also pretty difficult tasks to master, but a players can't even get to that point without finding themselves a Day 2 bag.  Zakarya Wolgamott (Columbus, OH) was in yesterday's afternoon flight, but was unsuccessful in bagging chips for Sunday.  Wolgamott already has one cash in this series, finishing 56th in Event #10 ($60 No Limit Hold'em), and cashing for $153.

The are a handful of other players in the field that are firing another shot at this event, including Luis Santoni, Joe Niblett, Michael Weinberg, and Brian O'Keefe.

Tournament director Ralph Brandt has made the rules announcement for the field, and the cards are in the air for Flight 1E of Event 16.  The flight's field consists of over fifty entrants to start the day, with some faces here for the first time, and others returning for a second or third time to try and find a bag.  Finding a bag is what it's all about over the next (48) hours, as players try and join the (52) names already on their way to Sunday's Day 2.

Yesterday's action saw the return of Washington Gavilanes, the 2016 Isle Poker Open Event #1 winner, making his way to the blog for the first time since his winner's photo was taken.  While some new faces were welcomed to the blog, it was Isle Poker regular Michael Hefley (Boynton, FL) who bagged the Flight 1C chip lead (334,000).  It would be another familiar name to bag the evening flight's chip lead (Flight 1D), as Daniel Cruz tossed 378,000 into his Day 2 bag.

The tournament field needs to average (142) per flight for the next two days in order to reach the $100,000 guaranteed prize pool, and today's start is a good sign that the number will be reached as the flight's wind down.


Friday, January 20th: Weekend Warriors Continue With Event 16 Flights

After two days (and four flights), Event 16 has attracted a total of (302) entries, bringing the current prize pool up to $34,730.  The flight chip leaders from yesterday's action were Michael Hefley (Flight 1C), who bagged 334,000, and Daniel Cruz (Flight 1D) with 378,000.  Cruz's stack is currently leading the field of (52) players that have already punched their tickets to Sunday's Day 2.  Today's tournament schedule sees two more Event 16 flights, with action getting underway at 11:00am.  "Live blogged" coverage of Flight 1E will begin just after 12:00pm.

Washington Gavilanes (Plantation, FL)

It's been a long time since we've seen Washington Gavilanes's (Plantation, FL) name on the blog, but it's a name this blogger will always remember.  Gavilanes was the winner of the first event that was ever "live blogged" here at the Isle Poker Room (to clarify, first live event on this particular blog).  Washington bested Al Efremoff in a heads up battle to take down the 2016 Isle Poker Open Event 1 trophy, navigating his way through a field of 1,148 entries to earn $26,137.

Washington is seemingly picking up where he left off, as he's cruised to a comfortable chip lead, sitting with over 155,000 in front of him.  He is the only player in the field to have eclipsed the century mark to this point, as we are about to reach the end of Level 8.  There will be a (10) minute break after this level, and once play resume with Level 9, registration will have closed for Flight 1C of Event 16.

Punctuality, unless it's having to arrive to start a Day 2, isn't something that's terribly important to tournament players.  One of the ongoing debates in the tournament world is whether or not arriving for "pre-ante" levels is a profitable move.  Regardless of reasoning, we've seen a wave of players arrive over the last (30) minutes, including the likes of (some players listed have been in play for longer):

TJ Shulman

Ryan Hopp

Stephen Smith (Montgomery, AL)

Flight 1C players are one level removed from their first (10) minute break of the day, with just under (90) minutes remaining in open registration for this flight.  A handful of players arrived towards the tail end of the break, including Tom Gity (Pompano Beach, FL), and 2017 Isle Poker Classic Event 2 winner Stephen Smith (Montgomery, AL).

We should update that "hometown," as Smith is now a Florida resident, as the first of this year.  Without a casino and/or poker room in his home state of Alabama, Smith would do a lot of traveling to play the game he loves, hitting up rooms Biloxi, Cherokee, and Jacksonville (just to name a few).  Now that Smith lives in Florida, he has numerous poker rooms within a short drive of his home, and he made his name known two weeks ago (here at the Isle).  

When Event 2 was down to the final table, Smith held a commanding chip lead, which was even more powerful with the shallow stacks of his opponents.  After two of the shorter stacks were eliminated, the remaining eight players asked to hear the ICM numbers in regards to a chop.  Once the players agreed to the numbers that were presented, Smith was declared the winner, and walked away with over $28,000 (which happened to be close to $10,000 more than second place).  Stephen is back in action in this Flight 1C, and is looking to match Andrew Blake, who already has two trophies won during this series.

Steve and Linda Lipkins (Boca Raton, FL)

We've seen a lot of different "combinations" in the fields of these tournaments since the live blog coverage started last October.  There have been brother/sister combos in the field (Michelle and Sean Shah), twin combos (Hector and Nestor Carballo), and husband/wife combos like we have in the field now.

Steve and Linda Lipkins knew each other when they were in sixth grade in Queens, NY.  They each headed down their own paths in life, until they crossed paths once again at their high school reunion (Forest Hills High School) at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island.  The two got to talking, and as the saying goes, the rest was history.  The two have now been married for nine years, and one thing that they enjoy doing together is playing poker.

Having relocated to Florida, the two would watch poker on television, and they decided to play live once
the game took of down here.  Since 2008, the two have been playing tournaments together, and they've amassed some pretty impressive resumes.  Linda has over $81,000 in career earnings, with her largest score coming in 2015 (2nd Place - MSPT Venetian $600 NLH $45,153).  Steve has over $46,000 in recorded tournament earnings, with his largest score coming in a WSOP circuit event in Atlantic City in 2008 (4th Place WSOPC Harrah's AC $340 NLH $14,091).

The two are in today's Flight 1C, and looking to bag chips for Day 2, so they can return on Sunday as a duo once again.

Sahadeo Seenarraine (Tamarac, FL)

If you look at Sahadeo's Seenarraine's (Tamarac, FL) tournament resume, you'll see that 2016 was a "light" year in terms of tournament play.  The year prior (2015), Seenarraine recorded (10) cashes, all together totaling $5,394.  Every single one of Sehadeo's tournament cashes came here at the Isle Poker Room, and for all he's given to this room, you can say the room "gave back" last year.  The "Spin To Win" promotion started last summer, and has quickly become the most popular high hand promotion in the room.  Players have the opportunity to spin the "money wheel" and walk away with $25,000.  In order to be eligible to win the $25,000, the qualifying high hand must be a royal flush, and the spin must then land on the jackpot slot.

Things weren't always like that though, and when the wheel hosted a $15,000 slot, Seenarraine was the first (and only) player to hit the wheel for that amount.  Sahadeo is someone you'll always see playing cash in the room on a daily basis, but this is the first we've seen him enter a tournament since the blog's inception.

Tevy Wellins (Hollywood, FL) is coming off of his biggest Isle Poker tournament cash, earning second place money in the eight-way chop that ended Event 9.

Contrary to yesterday's starting flights, this afternoon flight of Event 16 is full of notables names and faces.  Tevy Wellins (Hollywood, FL) earned his "notable" status this past week, notching a $5,025 score in the Event 9 chop (eight-way).  Wellins's share was second place money, and was his largest tournament score since a deep run in the opening event of the 2012 Borgata Winter Poker Open ($31,096).  Other players in the field with the Isle Poker "notable" status include:

Stephen Smith
Francois Gagne

Thursday, January 19th: Duo Of Event 16 Flights On Tap

The first day of Event 16 saw two flights that attracted a total of (135) entries, with (25) players successfully bagging chips for Sunday's Day 2.  The Flight 1A chip leader was Kevin Matheson (West Palm Beach, FL), who bagged 243,000, while Stefan Korolczuk bagged 301,000 as the Flight 1B chip leader.  One of the storylines of this final Isle Poker Classic event, is the emergence of new names and faces to followers of the blog.  Of the (25) players to bag chips, there were only a few recognizable names (Jeff Burdeen, Marcel Deschamps, Marc Culberson).

As the weekend approaches, the field sizes will gradually get larger, with yesterday's "intimate" fields more of an anomaly.  There are two more starting flights on the schedule today, with Flight 1C getting the dedicated "live blog coverage."

11:00am - Event 16 (Flight 1C) $150 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry) $100,000 Guarantee:

- Players receive 25,000 in tournament chips
- All late registrants and re-entries will receive a full stack
