Trevor Savage has seen his kids become "famous" in the poker world, especially his youngest Andrew, who has played the role of numerous different notable poker players (Doug Polk for example).

For those that just follow this particular blog, or the current affairs of South Florida poker, the name Trevor "@TreMomey" Savage may not ring a bell.  If you are in that select group that doesn't know who he is, use this as "one time" suggestion to check him out.  Savage, who hails from New Jersey, used to frequent the poker room at Parx Casino (in Bensalem, PA).  He actually happened to win the first tournament that I personally covered as a blogger (Event #1 of the 2011 Parx Open Classic, which was a $500 No Limit Hold'em event).  The $18,292 result stands as his seventh largest cash, on a resume that boasts over $484,000 in live earnings.  

Trevor also has a lot of online earnings, which is a platform that has recently given him some incredible opportunities.  Once online poker cam back to the state of New Jersey, Savage put almost all of his focus towards the online grind, and began streaming his play.  Outside of his #NeverFold (cash game) escapades (in which he doesn't fold a hand down unless there is a three-bet in front of him), Savage recently starting his "Raising The Nuts" channel on YouTube.  Originally part of the Vlogger In Paradise contest, Trevor's videos (which feature his three children) became an immediate hit in the poker world.  While he didn't win a Platinum Pass into the PCA Player's Championship, he was invited down as part of the top five in the contest, and was featured (with his family) on PokerNews:

Trevor isn't playing in the tournament this weekend, but did make time in his schedule to stop by the poker room to play some 5/10 No Limit Hold'em.

Never shy for the camera, Francklin Michel (Miami, FL) is always happy to get featured during a tournament's coverage on the blog.

"Hey man...get the camera, I'm ready for my photo," is a line we hear from Francklin Michel (Miami, FL) most every time he spots the blogger walking around the tournament floor.  Even if he said it twenty minutes prior, he'll still pull out the same line (or something similar) after a second pass.  There aren't many players that try harder to get featured on the blog than Michel, ever since his first published photo during a $250 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) in November of 2017.  Francklin ended up reaching the final table of said tournament, eventually taking home fourth place money, in a five-way deal that wrapped up the event.  The $10,676 result still stands as Michel's largest tournament cash, on a resume that boasts (26) total results.

Of those results, all but two have come here at the Isle Poker Room, one of which occurred just a few weeks ago in Maryland.  Francklin bubbled the final table of a $120 No Limit Hold'em "Triple Stacks" event, which saw him earn $441.

Gili Prizament (Biscayne Bay, FL) saw some success during last month's $140 No Limit Hold'em "Bankroll Builder," and is looking to best her 48th place result.

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, we are going to talk a little bit about love and relationships.  Relationships are all about "firsts," which is why we remember things like first dates, first kiss, etc.  After being with someone for an extended period of time, it's gets harder and harder to experience "firsts," but they do come along.  After years of dating fellow poker aficionado Damien Simon (Hialeah, FL), Gili Prizament (Biscayne Bay, FL) got engaged last March, meaning she is experiencing her first Valentine's Day as an engaged couple.  

That obviously a special moment in a relationship, and probably calls for an evening together...which is likely why Gili is in this afternoon's field (allowing her to keep the night clear for any plans).  Prizament was last featured during the "Bankroll Builder" in January, a tournament she ended up cashing in 48th place ($330).  The result happens to be Gili's last recorded cash, as she sets out on a course to best her career headlining result of $2,329.

Total Flight 1A Entries: N/A

February 14th is a day that people circle on their calendars each and every year, but this time around, it wasn't just because of Valentine's Day.  Today marks the beginning of the month's second $50,000 guaranteed multi-flight tournament, which has a $150 buy-in.  February's first multi came back on the first day of the month, with the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) event eclipsing the posted guarantee, after attracting a total of (182) entries in two flights.  Zachary Mullennix ended up winning the tournament outright, after besting Gary Fitzgerald during heads-up play.  The result was Zachary's first tournament win (outright), and happened to be the start of something special, as Mullennix won his first ever WSOP Circuit ring just a few days ago.

Outside of the buy-in amount, and number of starting flights, this week's event is very similar to the one that started the month.  Players in this $150 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) tournament will be sitting down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, with (30) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.  Play is scheduled to conclude after Level 16, or if the 10% mark is reached...whichever happens to occur first.  Those players that bag chips for Day 2, will return on Monday (February 18th) at 12:00pm, to battle it out for the title.  

As has been customary, there will be updated coverage of the afternoon flights (Flight 1A, Flight 1C, Flight 1E, and Flight 1G), along with detailed Day 2 coverage on Monday.  We will allow for the field to fill up over the first level, before taking a look at our notables in today's Flight 1A.

Thursday, February 14th: We Show Our Valentine Love With A $150 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) Multi

ICYMI: Wednesday's tournament schedule began with the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Survivor," which ran without it's usual $3,000 guarantee.  That didn't deter players from showing strong, as the field closed with (35) entries, and a prize pool of $3,500.  The posted payouts were scheduled to see three players walk way with $1,000, and a fourth place earning $500.  Those numbers were altered though, as the tournament ended in an ICM chop, with the official results listed below:

Tournaments: The wait is finally over, as the $150 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) is upon us.  The tournament begins today, with the first pair of flights on the schedule, as well as a satellite for the event.  The action begins at 11:00am, with Flight 1A of the $150 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD), which is the first of eight total flights.  The structure for the flight sees players sitting down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, playing levels that last (30) minutes, and registration that is open through Level 8.

At 3:00pm, players can choose to take lesser expensive routes into the weekend's event, with a $40 No Limit Hold'em Satellite, guaranteeing five seats into the $150 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD).  The satellite is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, (15) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

The second flight (Flight 1B) then gets underway at 6:00pm, carrying the same structure as the afternoon flight before it (20,000 unit starting stacks, (30) minute levels, and registration through Level 8).
