ICYMI: Day 5 of the 2017 Isle Classic saw two events on the schedule, the first of which got underway at 11:00am.  Event #4 was a $60 No Limit Hold'em tournament, with a $7,000 guaranteed prize pool, one of the more popular afternoon events during these major series.  A total of (151) entries made up the field, with those that still remained from that number at the registration, able to pick up some more chips with an optional add-on.  Once those add-ons were included into the official number, the prize pool would close at $7,462.  A total of (19) places were scheduled to be paid out, with a min-cash worth $112, and the eventual trophy winner to get $2,058.  Yuriy Kozniskiy (Miami Beach, FL) became the tournament's "declared winner," after heading a six-way deal that ended the event.  Also included in the deal were Isle Poker tournament notables Daniel Genachte, and Paula Holder.  The official payouts from the final table are listed below:
  1. Yuriy Kozniskiy (Miami Beach, FL) $1,215
  2. Joseph Farrar (Wellington, FL) $1,196
  3. Paula Holder (Pompano Beach, FL) $890

  10. Zaki Lichaa (Pompano Beach, FL) $179
The big numbers continued for the evening event, as (249) entries made up the field for Event #5.  The $130 No Limit Hold'em event boasted a $20,000 guaranteed, and ended up soaring post the number, with the official prize pool closing at $24,900.  The large field brought out even larger payouts, with (32) places scheduled to get paid in the tournament, and first place to potentially take home $5,720.  With the final table payouts as they were, a seven-way deal was agreed to, with everyone taking home $1,737 (and Rodney Moret-Rojas the trophy winner). Details of the deal, along with the rest of the final table payouts, are posted below:
  1. Rodney Moret-Rojas (Troy, MI) $3,240

Tournaments: Tuesday afternoon's Isle Classic tournament is Event #6 ($175 Limit Omaha 8B Hi/Lo), a tournament that has a $8,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The event is the first of two mixed tournaments on the Isle Classic schedule (with H.O.R.S.E. next week), and is structured with 14,000 unit starting stacks.  Levels will last (20) minutes over the course of the event, which will surely attract all of the notable split-pot players...but they're looking to scoop.

Event #7 then follows the Omaha 8B tournament, with the action beginning at 6:00pm.  The $60 No Limit Hold'em event has a $12,000 guarantee, and should attract one of the larger fields of the entire series.  The tournament is structured with 14,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (20) minutes over the course of the evening.  There is an optional add-on at the end of Level 8, with players getting 10,000 units for $20 (with 100% of the add-on money going towards the prize pool).


Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes.  The high hands will then transition from 10:00am-12:00am (midnight), with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes.  During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible (Isle Open events not eligible for high hand) each half-hour for $100 high hands, 2/2 limit hold'em players eligible for $200 high hands, 2/4 limit hold'em players eligible for $300 high hands, and all other raked games (1/2-5/10 NLH, 4/8 Omaha 8B, 6/12 O.E., etc.) eligible for $400 high hands.  From 12:00am-9:00am, players are eligible for $100 high hands every hour.

It should also be noted that started back on November 1st, players are able to win the high hand using only one card in their hand!!!  The payouts for those that use one card are different than the standard numbers listed above, and can be found (full listing of one-card payouts on flyers in the poker room).

Monday, December 4th: Three Isle Classic Champs Crowned, Marchese The Largest As Satellite Winner Of The Main

Isle Classic Event #1 Winner Joseph Marchese (Coral Springs, FL)

ICYMI: The first weekend of the 2017 Isle Classic was headlined by Event #1, a $1,500 No Limit Hold'em event with a $300,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The tournament had (184) entries over the pair of opening flights, with (12) players entering before Day 2 began, bringing the overall total to (196).  The number would fall just (26) entries short of the guaranteed number, meaning the series would open up with small overlay.  Once registration closed, and Day 2 saw the first cards pitched, the official payouts would be posted shortly thereafter.  A total of (25) players would reach the money, with a min-cash worth $2,217, and first place scheduled to take home $73,585.  Even with an extremely generous structure, the storyline of the day was "speed," as the proceedings played out at a rapid rate.  The money bubble was reached just three levels into the day, with most every name to reach the money notable player to the blog.  We also saw two players that bought in on Day 2 reach the money, with Richard Kirsch finishing in 21st place ($3,621), and Stewart Newman making the event's final table (7th place | $10,050).  

Even though a Day 3 was scheduled for this event, things were moving well ahead of schedule, with the final table reached shortly after the dinner break.  Stephen Smith (Juno Beach, FL) entered as the chip leader, but after three hours of play, and the eliminations of Adam Adler, David T. Rubenstein, and Israel De La Cerda...the landscape was changed dramatically.  Joseph Marchese and Kevin Chan were the chip leaders six-handed, with the two staying that way until heads-up play was reached...and a deal was made.  The results from the final table are listed below, with the full results of the tournament found by clicking here.

Event #3 of the 2017 Isle Classic was also on the Sunday schedule, with action in the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo Bounty" ($5,000 GTD) getting underway at 6:00pm.  Registration would close with (78) entries, and after the optional add-ons were including in the number, the official prize pool would close at $6,356 (including bounties).  The tournament would play down to an outright winner, with Wilmer Diaz (Miami, FL) besting Michael Corbett during heads-up play, to take down $1,499 (and the Event #3) title.  Official final table results are listed below.

Sunday, December 3rd: Players Return (And Arrive) For Day 2 Of Event #1

ICYMI: Flight 1B of Event #1 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em $300,000 GTD) attracted a total of (122) entries, with (33) players successfully bagging chips for this afternoon's Day 2.  Satellite winner Joe Marchese (Coral Springs, FL) set the pace early in the afternoon, and never looked back, bagging the overall chip lead with 526,700.  A large group of players were in the running for the second chip lead bonus seat (into Event #16), and after the final three hands of the night were finished at each table, it would be Adam Adler coming out second behind Marchese (with 380,000).  The top five stacks from Flight 1B belonged to Joe Marchese (526,700), Adam Adler (380,000), Farid Jattin (203,500), Stephen Song (193,500), and Tony Ruberto (192,500).

The numbers from yesterday bring the combined total for Event #1 to (184) entries, with (51) players returning at 12:00pm (this afternoon) for Day 2.  The current prize pool is at $248,400, which is just over $50,000 short of the posted guarantee.  The word "current" is used, because registration is still open until the first card is pitched this afternoon.   Players buying in this afternoon would be sitting down to just under thirteen big blinds, and would sit down with more chips than six of the returning Day 2 players.

There will be no live Day 2 coverage this afternoon, but once the numbers have been made official, the payouts from the tournament will be listed here on the blog.  Official results will also be listed once the money is reached, so followers of the blog can check back sporadically throughout the day.

Tournaments: As mentioned above, players will be returning at 12:00pm for Day 2 of Event #1.  Registration is open for players interested, as long as they enter the field before the first card is pitched.  Levels for Day 2 transition to (50) minutes, and will stay that way until the final table is reached.  Once the redraw is completed, and action begins at the final table, the next level will be (60) minutes (and stay that way until the event's conclusion).  The structure may call for a Day 3, which is tentatively scheduled for tomorrow afternoon (Monday).

Event #3 of the Isle Classic begins at 6:00pm, and is a $100 No Limit Hold'em Deep Stack Turbo Bounty, which boasts a $5,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The event is structured with 18,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (15) minutes throughout.  There is an optional add-on at the end of Level 10, seeing a return of 10,000 units for $25 (with 100% of the add-on money going towards the prize pool).

Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes.  The high hands will then transition from 10:00am-12:00am (midnight), with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes.  During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible (Isle Open events not eligible for high hand) each half-hour for $100 high hands, 2/2 limit hold'em players eligible for $200 high hands, 2/4 limit hold'em players eligible for $300 high hands, and all other raked games (1/2-5/10 NLH, 4/8 Omaha 8B, 6/12 O.E., etc.) eligible for $400 high hands.  From 12:00am-9:00am, players are eligible for $100 high hands every hour.

It should also be noted that started back on November 1st, players are able to win the high hand using only one card in their hand!!!  The payouts for those that use one card are different than the standard numbers listed above, and can be found (full listing of one-card payouts on flyers in the poker room).
