Tighe Rides Again

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Pat Tighe has moved into chip boss position once again, soul reading one heads-up opponent who fired 25,000 into the river on a {Q-}{9-}{4-}{X-}{9-} board.

Tight held {J-}{J-}, he called and it was good against his opponent's {8-}{8-}.

Surwade Soars Into Lead

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Jiten Surwade
Jiten Surwade

Jiten Surwade just entered the biggest pot of the flight so far and came out the other end with the chip lead.

It was a classic cooler with Surwade holding {a-}{a-} versus one opponent's {k-}{k-}. Just for good measure, Surwade made quad aces and after flopping three jacks a hand or two later to rake in some more chips, he's the first player past the 100,000-chip mark.

Tighe Moves Ahead

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Pat Tighe
Pat Tighe

2015 Western New York Poker Challenge Event 3: $300 No-Limit Hold'em champ Pat Tighe has moved into the chip lead here.

He flopped a boat holding {8-}{3-} and got full value, then picked off a bluff with {a-}{10-} over {a-}{9-} to move over and above 70,000.

In fact, Tighe told PokerNews he just went on a massive four or five hand rush to build his stack, and would have had even more if he didn't just lose a pot to start Level 10.
