Aitchinson Takes Aim
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 4
: 100/200, 0 ante
Scott Aitchison, who has turned Seneca Niagara into his own personal ATM by cashing in almost every event the poker room runs - Including a 41st place finish for $459 in the first event on the Summer Slam schedule Sunday - is on the pathway to another deep run here.
He raised it up preflop with the 
getting three callers before a 
flop fell.
It checked around, but when the 
came down on the turn, Aitchison managed to get one short stack holding 
to commit his chips drawing dead.
As a result, he's climbing up the early leader board and in contention as usual.

: 100/200, 25 ante
Wilson, NY's Jason Harvey held versus 
on an flop to double up early.
Then he made trip nines at the same time as Scott Aitchison, but had him out-kicked. As a result, he's the early chip leader and the man to beat in Level 5.

Gone Fishin'
Level 6
: 150/300, 25 ante
St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada's Steve Auld has vaulted into the lead here early.
He told PokerNews a fishy table draw is the main reason. In fact, he hasn't really won a big pot yet despite building a stack close to four buy-ins into Level 6.
"I've caught a lot of fish" he said. "A lot of little ones really."
