The clock struck six and it's suddenly ladies night at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino.

Not only are there two-for-one margaritas at all casino bars, but Sandra Boyle keeps chipping up and it appears she'll take the lead into the dinner break.

In the meantime, 2015 Seneca Niagara Fall Poker Classic Event #1 champ Kristan Mackiewicz goes into the dinner break on a massive heater, having picked up aces three out of fives hands.

She busted one player shoving into them with {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} on the third and now has 90,000 and counting.

Sandra Boyle now leads heading into the last level before the dinner break after teaching Daniel Wagner a few tricks and charging a tuition fee.

In the meantime, 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Event #4 sixth-place finisher Thomas Clayton has crept up behind her. He got it up above 150,000 after getting it in with tens against a flush draw. He held there before dominating another player when they got it in for heaps with {a-}{q-} versus {a-}{j-} on an {a-}{k-}{2-} flop.

Plus, John Stempien has crept above the six-figure mark, finally solving Bradley Girdler. Stempien shoved a flush draw and got there against Girdler's smaller one.

Surviving and Thriving

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Justin Villa
Justin Villa

2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Event #1 champ Kristan Mackiewicz got in the Main Event through a satellite last night and just peaked her head above water for the first time today.

She tossed in her last 13,300 in on a {K-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop four-handed. Three folds allowed her to drag a pot of almost the same size and Mackiewicz showed {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

In the meantime, Rochester, NY's Justin Villa has moved across the six-figure mark making a couple of big hands.

These include a gift with a straight versus top pair, and a hand where his {a-}{j-} hit a gutshot to the nuts, getting paid off by the second nuts.

Max Droege continues to lead here going into a 15-minute color-up break.

He dipped a bit, but got all that back and more when he flopped two pair and made fives over queens on the river against a player holding the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

In the meantime, Burlington, ON, Canada's Sandra Boyle just made a set of tens to crack William Liang's pocket aces.

The 2015 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam Main Event champ is now short as Boyle moves well past the 100,000-chip mark.

The 15-minute break starts now with 123 of 182 remaining.
