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.

[Removed:339] always starts out hot in these things and he'll take the chip lead into the first break of the day.

Shave And A Haircut, Two Bits

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Leon Martin wins a $1,000 danish thanks to a massive cooler that also sent Buffalo, NY's Mike Shavensky soaring into the very early chip lead.

Martin made the nut flush, but Shavensky rivered quad jacks to double up to 60,000 here in the second level. Martin was left with scraps and threw those away a few hands later.

Now moving into Level 3 the board reads 113 entries and counting.

I Can Be Your Hero

[user127999]

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Day 1b starts out with an even bigger field than it's Friday predecessor already, as the board reads 86 entries and counting heading into Level 2.

With registration and re-entry until the start of Level 11 this thing looks to be big. There are several heroes with a history of making noise here at Seneca in the field already. Including 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Event #1 champ Kristan Mackiewicz.

Peter Raimondi won a pot, and is using the PokerNews My Stack App to keep us all updated on the status of his stack, so we'll call him the chip leader right now. It's really that easy folks.
