Chris Damick rushed out to an early lead in the first starting flight and had chips all day until the last level of the night.
He couldn't win a hand and ended up bagging 80,000 for Day 2.
Now Damick has found the upswing again, and after turning two pair, getting a 60,000-chip value bet paid by two spots on the river, and dragging what was ultimately a 300,000-chip pot, he's back among the leaders again.
Dan Wagner's cat won't eat as he just missed out on the money, becoming the 2017 Seneca Niagara Summer Slam Main Event bubble boy moments ago.
Wagner shoved big slick under the gun and when it came to Joseph Elia in the big blind they squeezed together. Turned out Elia had jacks and jacks held to send Wagner home one spot short of a payday.
The 45 players left are now guaranteed to earn at least $1,193.
Chris Damick has snatched the lead from Scott Hosbach.
They got tangled in a pot with Damick flopping a set of sevens and turning sevens full of aces. The river card even brought three cards to a flush, but after getting a little value pre and post flop, Damick could get no more from Hosbach on the end.
The two leaders were sat beside one another for a little while, but the table has since broken and that's no longer the case, ending the big-stack confrontation for now.
