Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Nick Walker
Nick Walker

With two player notorious for building big stacks and blowing them up here at Seneca sat one seat away from each other, Table 8 here in the Niagara Falls Poker Room appears to be one worth watching as Level 11 comes to a close.

Talented local Nick Walker is certainly interested. He's on their direct left and licking his chops at the site of wildcards Alex Rivera and John Stempien.

They're all about evenly stacked going into the late levels, but history would suggest that's likely to change fast.

Treutlein Stumps Stempien; Takes Lead!

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Scott Treutlein
Scott Treutlein

Scott Treutlein has moved into the chip lead, getting the best of a typical John Stempien blow up over at Table 8.

Treutlein became the beneficiary of most of Stempien's stack making fours full of seven against his top pair.

The rest went to a third party making another boat shortly thereafter,

Todd Saffron just got it in against a short stack with threes against {a-}{9-}.

A nine flopped to put him behind, but Saffron busty the shorty thanks to a three on the river and now has the overall chip lead on 175,000 heading into the break with two levels left to play on the day.

That 10-minute break starts now.

Smith's Kings Kill The Queens

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Casey Smith
Casey Smith

Toronto, Canada's Casey Smith raised it up and there was a three-bet right behind him. A third player cold four-bet all in and after Casey called his almost 60,000-chip stack off, the player on his left did as well.

Smith had the {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and was in the enviable position of both his shorter stacked opponents holding the {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} respectively.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} bringing little in the way of surprises and as his opponents hit the rail, Smith vaulted up to a spot among the late leaders.
