Dennis Durante was the unfortunate soul who ran into Vadim Rozin's pocket aces after flopping a flush draw early.
Now onto his second bullet, he's letting the big hands go and taking what the table gives him, having recently turned into two pair to almost triple up. He also made trips in another hand and now sits among the early big stacks.

Scott Aitchison bet 2,000 into an flop and made the quick call when Shamel Thomas came over the top all in.
Aitchison was all over the flop with but could not best Thomas' set. The run out sent Aitchison to the cage to re-enter and pushed Thomas up the early leader board.

So far today, Toronto, Canada's Daniele Scalini has found himself in the right place, with the right bet at the right time.
He's turned water into wine more than once, making trips out of rags, two pair out of thin air and has been generally chipping up without the benefit of any premium starting hands.
As a result, he now finds himself among the early leaders.

Lockport, NY's Kyle Jeffery has chipped up steadily through the first four levels and now finds himself among the early leaders.
He got it in with kings over queens and made a boat over trips to collect a gaggle of checks and is closing in on the 40,000-chip mark already.

The players are off on a 10-minute break with four full levels now in the books.
One sure road to the top of the chip counts is to bust multiple players in one single hand.
That's exactly how Hamburg, NY's Tom Scanlon earned his way there, riding over and all in preflop and holding.
