The Leaders Emerge

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Tom Scanlon continues to lead here into Level 6. He chipped up making the nut flush moments ago and is close to 90,000.

That lead is a tenuous one, however, as Tonawanda. NY's Sal Incartona is right behind him after flopping two pair with {J-}{q-}, getting it in against pocket kings and a set of sixes, and turning a full house to scoop.

In the meantime, Jeff DeVoesick ran {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} into {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, doubling to 37,500 and leaping into contention.

Pfeifer Returns!

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Randy Pfeifer
Randy Pfeifer

Local rounder Randy Pfeifer is coming off one heck of a 2015 World Series of Poker.

He spent the summer in Las Vegas making two major final tables and cashing in six events, including a 4th-place finish in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Millionaire Maker for $441,465 and tenth in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout for $16,740. He even made the final table of one of the Rio Daily Deepstacks.

To be honest, it comes to no one's surprise out here, as Pfeifer has built a reputation as Western New York's best tournament player with $1,429,575 in career tournament earnings and a bevvy of big-time final table appearances.

Although he skipped the first three flights, Pfeifer has jumped in the fourth this evening, firing multiple bullets already and getting close to needing another moments ago.

He raised 700 from middle position in a recent hand, getting one caller on the button. Pfeifer fired again at the {KdQc7c] flop, making it 1,050, but the button would not release. The {4-Spades} turn brought another barrel from Pfeifer, who made it 1,825.

This time the button fired back, bumping it to 4,500 and forcing Pfeifer to fold what appeared to be a queen with less than four thousand behind.

Scanlon Rides Again!

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Tom Scanlon
Tom Scanlon

Tom Scanlon had a big stack early in the early flight today. Unfortunately, when his table broke and he found a new seat, he also found a way to go card dead,

Soon after, he went broke, but scraped up the $200 to get back in this flight and now finds himself in the lead as the fourth level comes to a close. This time around he's playing bluffcatcher, calling down one opponent with ace-high and another holding just top pair to build what appears to be heaps of chips at this point.
