Marcy Jo Phillips made sixth in the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Event #2 $50 Bounty last night, but it sounds like that was a bit of a disappointment for her.
She had a massive chip lead going into the final table and somehow steamed it off.
"I may have been a bit too aggressive," she admitted.
Still, she booked a decent score, grabbed a whack of $50 bounties along the way and has fired some of that prize money into this evening's flight.
Heading into the break, she's got about twice what she started with here, having made one straight and played a ton of other small pots to accumulate the chips.
With the first four levels in the books, the first 10-minute break of the day starts now.
There's a bit more of a buzz in the room now coming back from the break with the board reading 70 entries and counting.
Players have the chance to register and re-enter all the way up until the start of the ninth level, and the number should at least flirt with triple digits by then with more latecomers and those looking for a second or third kick at the can expected.
Justin Borrows called bets on every street down a board holding before the river gave him a straight.
That's when the Belfast, NY resident got all his chips in the middle. His heads-up opponent called it off with and Belfast soared up the counts. Add another couple of key pots won and he's sitting on 55,000 now.
Buffalo, NY local Leo Kaplin has emerged as the chip leader heading into the second and final break of the day.
"I'm just catching a lot on the river," he told PokerNews, explaining that he had hold over in one big pot and has climbed close to five times the starting stack thanks to a fair amount of positivity on fifth street.
The board currently reads 90 entries with 54 left and the average stack at 25,000 — Kaplin is pushing close to three times that now.
