All Rise!

Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Rochester, NY's Jeff Davis flopped a set and won a decent pot before pushing all drawers away to pick up close to an early double.
In the meantime, Mike 'The Mayor' Rellinger is thinking of putting together a cabinet to work with, starting with the player who flopped a set against his turned flush and paid him off on a big river bet to give him almost twice what he started the day with.

Sgroi Leads Into The Break
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Maria Parlatore flopped trips and turned it full, but her name is not at the top of the chip counts heading into the break. In fact, it isn't even on the list anymore.
That chip lead would belong to Rochester, NY's Tyler Orsini, who would not be pushed off this hand on third or fourth street, and eventually made a Royal Flush on fifth.
He got his stack in and almost a full double up out of it when Parlatore couldn't fold her monster. But he isn't the leader either.
Parlatore somehow got it back to 24,000 and when she lost all but 375 of that in a three way all-in pot with a straight and a flush draw against Youngstown, NY's Anthony Sgroi's bigger straight and a third player with a pair and a draw, Sgroi appeared to be the leader.
Parlatore cracked Orsini's aces with the 
making two pair a hand later, and it was clear Sgroi was in the lead.
Parlatore busted unceremoniously a hand or two later and the first break of the day starts now.

The Gucc
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
A regular at the Niagara Falls Poker Room since the day they opened the doors, you won't find a more popular player than Anthony "Gucci" Pugliese.
That's why so many regulars here were so sad to hear he was diagnosed with ALS over the past year. The former Special Education Teacher started riding a scooter to get around the property this summer, and doesn't really come around as much as he used to anymore.
He did fire away in the the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Event #5 $335 Bounty last night, and somehow it all came up Gucci.
Pugliese got all the way to heads up, chopping for $2,998 a piece with perennial Seneca winner Blake Napierala.
Living with ALS can be an expensive proposition, and the three grand will certainly help, but Pugliese is going to need a lot more to deal with this debilitating disease.
As a result, the local community is running a benefit for him this Wednesday, Nov. 25 at 6 p.m. at The Meeting Place just outside Niagara Falls. There will be food and drinks and tickets are just $50 and available in the Niagara Falls Poker Room or at the door for anyone interested in coming out.

31 and Counting
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
A little bit of a slow start sees most tables still playing short handed and the board reading 31 entries.
They move into Level 2 with a steady stream of latecomers hitting the cage and a number of those expected to turn up apparently biding their time before doing so.
