Duke In The Box
Level 6
: 150/300, 25 ante
"All in...All in."
It's a familiar call here in the Seneca Niagara poker room. Especially when it comes from the loud baritone voice of veteran dealer Duke Brundidge. And especially when he says it twice.
Announcing that a player is all in twice is just one of many of Brundidge's signature phrases that have become a warm and welcoming part of the experience for players in this region, as he's spent most of the past decade pitching at tables in this poker room.
He's developed a reputation as one of the players' favorite dealers, and not just because of a few catchy sayings, affable attitude and unique style. It's because Brundidge is in full control when he's in the box, calling the game the right way and protecting its integrity.
Brundidge has more than just the players' admiration, he has their respect, and he's earned it, one all in call at a time...or maybe two.

Bob's Big Day
Level 4
: 100/200, 0 ante
Bob Szczodrowski is off to a blazing hot start here in Niagara Falls. The Lancaster, NY resident just became the fastest player to 75,000 in any of the first five flights for this event and is crushing all comers.
First he turned 
into a boat, then collected a massive pot when his opponent rivered a smaller one. A few hands later he cracked aces, turning a gutshot with

Rivera Rides Again
Level 4
: 100/200, 0 ante
Alex Rivera built up a big stack in last night's flight, but found a way to spew it off before bagging.
He's back at it again this morning and off to a quick start. In a three-way pot on an 
flop, the first player to act led for 2,000, the next player shoved for a little over 6,000 and Rivera shipped it in for about the same. The raiser checked his cards, was told the flush draw was no good by Rivera, then open folded 
.
Rivera's 
was up against the third player's 
flush draw and held on a 
run out.
