Top local rounder Todd Saffron has pushed into the chip lead as the evening flight wears on.

He's the first player past the 100,000-chip mark here and in the driver's seat thanks to a couple of key pots, including making the nut straight over another straight, and a lot of small ones.

"I'm just winning a lot of small pots, catching a few bluffs and really just taking my share," he said with a smile.
