Maine's Bill Tilden traveled to Western New York for the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic looking to make a little money.
So far things are going swimmingly, as he's steadily chipped up throughout the day and now finds himself as the first player past the 100,000-chip mark with Level 8 coming to a close.
One of his bigger hands included flopping trip kings, waiting for Kristan Mackiewicz to hit an ace on the turn, and then calling her turn and river bets to the tune of 18,000.
