Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Jeffery Hobrecker
Jeffery Hobrecker

He may have finished third in Event #3 on the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic schedule earlier this week, but Jeffery Hobrecker was the chip leader four handed, taking the lion's share of the prize pool when they chopped up the money.

Always a threat in these events, Hobrecker had aces hold moments ago to increase his stack 50 per cent and get off to a solid start.

Dan Wagner
Dan Wagner

Local cash grinder and part-time tournament wizard Daniel Wagner is off and running now, getting it in with a flush draw and getting there.

After an open to 750 got one caller, Wagner made it 2,700 with the {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. Just one player called and Wagner three-bet shoved on an {8-}{5-}{3-} flop with two diamonds.

His opponent called with the {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, but couldn't fade a diamond on the {7-}{7-Diamonds} turn and river.

Ladder Up

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Nick Walker
Nick Walker

Nick Walker has found a double up without having to get in any major confrontations.

The 2014 Western New York Poker Challenge champ has had a flush over a flopped straight, top two pair and even managed to get one street of value out of Scott Aitchison with pocket aces, along the way to 60,000.

In the meantime, local tourney grinder Carol Leonardi had one big hand shoot her up the ladder. She had {a-}{a-} versus {a-}{q-} when an {a-}{q-}{x-} flop rolled out.

All the money got in on the river and after a dealer change at the table, Leonardi decided to take a break with a full level to go before the next official one.

Spear's Threatens

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Andy Spears
Andy Spears

A hot start for Andy Spears sees him double up before the second break as he looks to make good on yesterday's promise to show up and punish this Day 1b field.

The 2013 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event champ managed to get it in with tens full of nines against a rivered queen-high straight to take one opponent's full stack and cruise through Level 6 above 60,000.

Battaglia Leads Into The Break

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
David Battaglia
David Battaglia

David 'Dae Dae' Battaglia leads heading into the second break of the day.

He raised it up with the old {2-Spades}{4-Spades}, getting three callers before flopping a gutshot and a flush draw on a {q-}{5-}{6-} board with two spades.

He check-raised a flop bet and got the call to go heads-up to an {8-} turn that now gave him a double-gutter. A bet and a call saw them go down to the river where Battaglia piled it in for 22,000 after the {3-} came down, making him the nut-low straight.

He got the call and the muck to start the push towards six-figures faster than anyone else in the room as they head into a 10-minute break starting now with the board reading 167 entries and 137 remaining.
