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.

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.
