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 
and after an Elia check, Napierala took it down with a 2,000-chip bet, showing

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

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.
