A Jack For The Crack

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Mandeep Chahal led out from late position and was the only caller when one opponent three-bet preflop. He then called a 5,000-chip bet on the {7-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop.

The turn brought the {3-Diamonds} and Chahal's opponent shipped it in. Chahal called instantly with {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} having cracked his opponent's {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}. The {q-Diamonds} river brought no joy for the aces and Chahal doubled up into a spot among the leaders.

Like A Boss

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Kristan Mackiewicz
Kristan Mackiewicz

Derby, NY's Kristan Mackiewicz has moved into the chip leader's chair and is the first player past the 50,000-chip mark here in Western New York.

Her good run started with a straight-over-straight debacle and continued as she picked up pots with pocket kings and pocket jacks.

Now holding 50,000-plus Mackiewicz appears poised for a deep run.

Easy Game

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Robert Lucas
Robert Lucas

Robert Lucas has moved to the top of the early leader board after cracking one opponent's aces.

He called all in on the turn of a king-high board holding {K-}{J-} against one heads-up opponent on {a-}{a-}. Lucas was headed for the exits before a jack came on the river to give him two pair, the knock out and the chip lead.

Break!

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

With four levels now in the books the players have been given a 10-minute break.

Get Crackin'

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

North Collins, NY's Rob Bourkney got it in drawing relatively thin against one opponent's {k-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

However, his {a-Spades}{k-Spades} found two spades on the flop. A third on the turn was enough to give him a flush and send his opponent to the rail.

Bourkney now has twice what he began the day with and his opponent was left with little more than a bad beat story and a chance to re-enter.

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Fishing charter boat captain and local rounder Randy Lingenfelter has caught a couple of big fish on the end of his hook early on.

He managed to make a straight and a flush to drag to decent pots and work his way up to more than twice the starting stack.
