Sexton Stays Patient

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante
Mike Sexton
Mike Sexton

partypoker Team Pro Mike Sexton has fallen below the starting stack, but hasn't lost his patience one bit.

He joined the small blind in defending against a 700-chip open from the player under the gun. Then joined him again in checking the {10-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop. The original aggressor led for 1,500 and Sexton was the only caller, taking them heads up to the {6-Diamonds} turn.

Sexton checked, and when his heads-up foe threw 3,400 on the felt, he let it go.

Jonathan Jaffe
Jonathan Jaffe

2014 WPT Montreal champ Jonathan Jaffe is moving up the ladder slowly but surely.

He's won a number of pots without showdown and now has twice the starting stack.

He limp four-bet one time to chip up and has managed to earn a full double up with Jedi mind tricks instead of significant confrontations.

With four levels of play now in the books the players are off on a 15-minute break.

The Real Six King

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Kyle Chang
Kyle Chang

Toronto's Kyle Chang has had two black kings no less than six times so far today.

One of those times he flopped top set and called big bets on the flop and turn before three-betting all in on the river. His opponent called and mucked leaving Chang as the first person past the 100,000-chip mark.

In fact, he's got the chip lead with just minutes to go before the second break of the day.

Spell Check

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Senthuran Vijayaratnam
Senthuran Vijayaratnam

After busting Day 1a dinner break leader Brian Wang earlier, Scarborough, Ontario's Senthuran Vijayaratnam has chipped up into a spot among the leaders.

He played bluff catcher moments ago to bust one aggressor who kept firing after Vijayaratnam flopped a flush draw with {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and turned a pair of aces.

Needless to say, the bluff did not work as Vijayaratnam called a shove on the river with what amounted to top pair and never saw his opponent's hand.

As a result, Singh now finds himself among the early leaders.
