Elsbree Trips Walker

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Todd Elsbree flopped a set of kings and got all of Nick Walker's chips in on the river after he made aces up.

With Walker now on the rail, Elsbree has a six-figure stack and looks to be a contender heading into the late levels.

Follow The Yellow Brick Road

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Coming off a 2015 Seneca Niagara Summer Slam where he earned one title and made two other final tables, Blake Napierala has had a slow start to the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic.

He's fired a few bullets into Event #1 to no avail, but may have found a sweet spot with this latest one.

He's up to 60,000 now after taking a a pot off Joseph Elia. It started with an Elia raise to 2,800 under the gun that Napierala called right behind him. The flop fell {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and after an Elia check, Napierala took it down with a 2,000-chip bet, showing {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

Truth Be Told

David Wiles
David Wiles

David Wiles is an honest contender for the Day 1c crown here into Level 11 after dragging a huge pot moments ago.

He all but told his heads-up opponent he held a set, pushing all in on a {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} board to the turn with 40,000 already in the middle.

His opponent still called all in for his tournament life with a gutshot, turning over the {6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and bricking on the river against Wiles' {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

Rellinger Tags Tighe

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Mike Rellinger

Pat Tighe had built it back up before finding himself on the wrong end of a 100,000-chip pot thanks to a nasty river card.

Soon after, facing a 2,800-chip open and two calls, he ripped it in for 12,500 more. Only Mike Rellinger called, saying something about Michael Jackson and turning over the {j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

Tighe had him dominated with the {a-Spades}{5-Spades}, but Rellinger poured salt in Tighe's wound, finding a pair on the {9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Spades} run out to bust him.

Martin!

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Word around the room is Leon Martin is hitting everything he plays.

All the evidence one needs to see is in his chip leading 160,000-chip stack, but we also caught him betting 10,000 into a pot about twice that size heads-up on a {j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} board.

His opponent called with the {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} but was obviously no good versus the hot running Martin's {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} full house.

Walker's Run

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Nick Walker
Nick Walker

2014 Western New York Poker Challenge Main Event champ Nick Walker is making a run at it here today.

Facing a 2,200-chip bet from the player on his right, Walker three-bet to 6,000. After a call, they went heads-up to a {q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop. Walker's opponent checked and he bet 7,600. The call came again, bet when the {2-Clubs} turn came down, Walker's opponent jammed it in for 8,900.

Walker made the relatively quick call with the {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and needed only fade a fourth club versus his opponent's {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. He got it done on the {8-Spades} river to climb the leader board into contention.
