It's all coming up Marvin Baker right now.

He called Yong Wolfer's 15,000-chip shove on {K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts} board with {k-Spades}{2-Hearts}, thinking he had the best hand. Turns out he was right. Wolfer had {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

The {k-Clubs} river gave Baker three kings just to make it look good and as Wolfer was forced to consider re-entry, Baker extended the early lead.

Belfast, NY's Matt Warner is off to a hot start.

Warner got in a huge pot holding {k-}{k-} versus {6-}{6-} with both players flopping a set. Warner's was bigger, it held, and he takes a little more than 40,000 with him to the next level.

Nobody builds stacks in the tournaments at Seneca like Bruce Pace does. Unfortunately, no one blows them up quite like he does either.

Tonight's spectacle starts with Pace taking the chip lead into the break on triple the starting stack after getting it in with {j-}{9-} on a jack high flop against {q-}{q-}.

Pace nailed the {9-} river to make two pair, sink the ladies, and leap up to 45,000. This should be fun to watch.

New York City, NY's Marvin Baker grabbed an early double up.

The University of Buffalo student got his full stack in on the end with chips flying on all three streets after his {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} smashed the {3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop against another player's {6-Spades}{4-Spades} straight with the flush redraw.

Things got good for Baker when he filled up on the {2-Clubs} turn, and he faded the one outer when the {5-Spades} did not fall on the river giving his opponent the straight flush.
