Dan Weitzenkorn
Dan Weitzenkorn

After a week of killing it in the prelims here at Summer Slam, Dan Weitzenkorn is off to a hot start in the Main Event.

He's up among the early chip leaders after making a set of queens to crack kings and using big slick to outflop a player with pocket jacks and a willingness to go broke on an ace-high board.

"Buffalo" Ray Williams just shot up into the chip lead after a massive three-way all-in hand.

He got it in with top set of sevens against a seven-high straight and bottom two pair. Bottom two pair made a boat on the turn, but Williams' was bigger.

In the end, Williams tripled up leaving two others short.

Chris Brzostowicz has tripled up to a spot at the top of the early leader board thanks to a couple of massive pots.

First he made the nut flush, then he turned pocket aces into a set. Crushing dreams and collecting stacks, he's now got three times what he started with and counting.

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Maria Parlatore
Maria Parlatore

Niagara Falls, Canada's Maria Parlatore has earned a reputation as one of the area's top tournament grinders.

She took down the 2014 Ladies Championship at The Grand Poker Series in Las Vegas for $19,513, final tabled an event at the Seneca Niagara Fall Poker Classic later that year and this past March, she finished third in one of the 2015 Western NY Poker Challenge prelims.

Parlotore finished just short of a satellite seat in the 9 a.m. here at Seneca today, bought in the Main Event anyway and has worked her way up to twice the starting stack already, grinding up to 50,000 without having to show down too many hands.

Mississauga, Ontario, Canada's Fazeel Munawar has shot up to a spot among the early leaders headed into the first break.
