Most Of The Time They're Sittin' And Cryin' At Home

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Tom Mistretta
Tom Mistretta

In this small and seemingly tight field, Tom Mistretta is just the second player above 50,000 in chips now, with 25 players remaining and and a little over an hour to play.

He turned a pair of flushes and got paid a little with jacks over nines on a board of undercards, before nines folded, pushing up to 60,000.

What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Shannon Farrell
Shannon Farrell

Shannon Farrell didn't bother looking, she just pushed her last 3,200 in the middle and prayed.

Two callers checked down an {8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds} board before one made it 3,000 on the {5-Hearts} river. The other folded, claiming a five and after the {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} ace high was turned over, Farrell looked at {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for the first time and thanked them all for the help.

A hand later she shoved again uncontested. A few more and she got it in again with {A-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} versus the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} to chop and remain sitting just under what she started with.

I Guess They Can't Revoke Your Soul For Trying

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Rich Cadwallader says he's the luckiest man in the room, and he may be right.

Anthony Knoll ran a huge semi-bluff with a straight draw against Cadwallader on top pair. In the end, Cadwallader got all his chips when Knoll bricked out.

Now the only play over 50,000 in the room is the only one over 100,000, taking a huge chip lead into the late levels.

Registration Closes

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

With the registration and re-entry period now closed, this first flight officially drew 56.

In order to meet the $50,000 guarantee on the prize pool, the event will need to draw a minimum of 625 entries total. With five more flights to go over the next three days, including another at 6 p.m. tonight, it is still a good bet to do that and more.

To just meet the guarantee, Event #3 will need to average close to 114 entries for each flight the rest of the way. Considering the Niagara Falls Poker Room's track record in meeting the guarantees in these multiple-entry, multiple-starting-day tournaments, we recommend you take the over.

Sometimes Your Cards Ain't Worth a Dime

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
'Richie' Rich Cadwallader
'Richie' Rich Cadwallader

Rich Cadwallader is playing table captain today and is now chip boss on over 50,000 already.

He raised it up prefelop and the big blind defended. Cadwallader checked the {7-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Spades} flop, but when the big blind led for 2,400, he check-raised to 7,000. The big blind called, then led 8,000 into the {8-Diamonds} turn. Cadwallader called and the {9-Diamonds} river was revealed.

The big blind fired out a 10,000-chip bet, leaving himself some 3,000 behind. Cadwallader jammed all in, and after a two-minute tank, the big blind folded.

He got kings cracked by a rivered set of threes in a tiny pot right after, but Cadwallader still leads heading into a 15-minute color up break that starts right now.
