Canadian grinder and Seneca Niagara regular Scott Aitchison is in no mood to be messed with.

Kiehl Over

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Bob Kiehl
Bob Kiehl

Bob Kiehl has emerged as the early chip leader after making a self-proclaimed "bad call" and finding a way to get there.

Kiehl held {a-}{j-} on a flop full of bricks and got it all in against an opponent holding {j-}{j-}. An ace on the river made the difference.

"I'm just really good with a short stack. That's why I made the call," Kiehl said. Now we'll see what he does with a big one.

Paying The Rent

Brian Rentschler
Brian Rentschler

Burdett, NY's Brian Rentschler is off and running here at Summer Slam, having just dragged a decent pot.

He turned {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} into a Broadway straight and and faded all trouble against {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} on a {J-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{6-Diamonds} board to move over the 22,000-chip mark here in Level 2.

Andre Smith
Andre Smith

Guelph, Ontario, Canada's Andre Smith couldn't ask for a better start to the event.

He held {6-}{6-} on a {6-}{6-}{Q-} flop, getting an opponent with {q-}{q-} to commit all his chips by the time the river rolled out.

Thanks to that massive cooler, Smith got the full double up and is the early leader.

41 and Counting

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

With organizers predicting this Friday morning flight would be the smallest of the four available, things have started predictably slow with the board currently reading 41 entries.

Late comers are slowly pouring in the poker room and can register all the way up until the start of Level 9. However, chances are tonight's 6 p.m. and Saturday's 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. flights will be significantly larger.
