Glab Grabs Some
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Tonowanda, NY's Tim Glab turned a straight flush against a flopped straight in the early going to double up.
Since then he's ridden a wave of good cards to build a monster stack. Recently, he called a 4,000-chip bet on a 
flop, then another 6,000 on the 
river before joining his heads-up opponent in checking the 
river.
Glab showed 
to drag yet another pot and join the glut of players collecting at the top of the chip counts.

T-Squared Doubles
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Travell Thomas has spent the better part of the last decade collecting $477,559 in career tournament earnings and developing a reputation as one of the top tournament players in the Western New York area.
He even added to both the career earnings and his own legend yesterday with a deep run in the 2015 Seneca Niagara Summer Slam Event #3 $50 re-entry that ended when he bubbled the final table in 11th place.
Today, he got short out of the gate, but just found a way to double up, jamming it in over a Pat Moeller raise with 
. Moeller called with 
but his two overs never connected on a 
board that filled up Thomas.
"Now the T-meister's got enough chips do some damage to somebody," he said, laughing as he stacked the double.
