Level 6
: 250/500, 50 ante
Marcy Jo Phillips said she didn't 'need' the full house she made when the player to her right shoved 
and she called with two nines. But she'll take it anyway.
"It was pretty," she said. "Nines full of queens."
What she might find more useful is the chip lead that pot gave her. In fact, Phillips has over 50,000 now and a lot of play here in the 250/500 level.

Bang Bang Shot Down
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
It appears the memory of Julie 'Bang Bang' Billiteri's 2016 Summer Slam Main Event run is all we have left.
Billiteri busted out unceremoniously sometime over the past level and does not appear to have the appetite for reentry.
Sadly, the event must move on without one of Seneca Niagara's most colorful characters.

Mess With The Bull Get The Horns
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
James DiPasquale has been on a heater of late and has now moved into the Level 5 chip lead.
He flopped trips and rivered a boat defending his big blind with the 
. Then he made a five-high flush of some kind. All in all, he's had it and others have been paying him off.
As a result, DiPasquale takes Level 5 chip lead honors, having run it up to almost 50,000 already.

An Elaborate Ruse
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Fresh off a final table appearance in the 2017 World Series of Poker Tag Team event and a summer internship working under structure guru Allen Kessler, top local rounder DJ MacKinnon is back home and firing away in this $200 reentry event.
In fact, MacKinnon just ran into a bizarre situation moments ago and managed to chip up a bit coming out of it.
The hand played pretty standard until the river. There was an early position min-raise and MacKinnon called from the small blind. The big blind came along and they checked to the raiser on a 
flop.
The aggressor bet 600 again, and only Mackinnon called. Both checked the 
turn, but after MacKinnon checked the 
river, the initial raiser bet 1,300.
MacKinnon was thinking about it when the raiser said he had it and flashed his cards. He then claimed a straight. MacKinnon started laughing when his opponent then offered to show one. The dealer told him explicitly not to reveal his hand, but he showed the 
regardless. Then he said he had a set.
The floor stepped in and issued a warning before MacKinnon made a crying call with two sevens. It turned out he had the best hand with the raiser finally admitting his ruse showing the 
as well.

Ranaletti Gives It Up, Phillips Steps It Up
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Andy Ranaletti's time at the top was short lived.
In fact, he gave away his early double up to Marcy Jo Phillips when he made top-pair top-kicker. Phillips had top pair and kicker problems, but they were inevitably solved on the river when she made two pair.
That pot and a few others along the way have helped Phillips push up to the top of the counts headed into the first break of the flight.
