Doug Zimmerman
Doug Zimmerman

Willamsville, NY's Doug Zimmerman has busted not one, but two players at his table so far. The first went down when he picked up aces over jacks and the second fell bluffing into his two pair.

Zimmerman now finds himself in the enviable position of chip leader.

"Doesn't mean much right now," he laughed. "Hopefully I'll still be there tomorrow."

Pathways To Success

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Tom Scanlon
Tom Scanlon

One sure road to the top of the chip counts is to bust multiple players in one single hand.

That's exactly how Hamburg, NY's Tom Scanlon earned his way there, riding {k-}{k-} over {10-}{10-} and {6-}{6-} all in preflop and holding.

The Right Place at the Right Time

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Daniele Scalini
Daniele Scalini

So far today, Toronto, Canada's Daniele Scalini has found himself in the right place, with the right bet at the right time.

He's turned water into wine more than once, making trips out of rags, two pair out of thin air and has been generally chipping up without the benefit of any premium starting hands.

As a result, he now finds himself among the early leaders.
