Pachla Punks The T-Meister

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

Alicia LaPorte Pachla is officially off the shneid and in chip leading position now.

She cracked aces with pocket tens and has been abusing local rounder Travell Thomas for most of the evening while building a contending stack.

She even made a set against him and just busted another player after picking up aces of her own.

"This girl is on fire," she exclaimed.

Bombs Away!

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

After firing multiple bullets into the day's first flight to no avail, Canadian Scott Aitchison is finding some success tonight.

He was recently see firing 3,000 chips heads-up into a dry side pot with one player all in and 15,000 in the middle on a {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop. His opponent called, but let it go when Aitchison threw 5,000 more at the {7-Spades} turn.

The all-in player turned over {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}, but Aitchison's {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} held after the river bricked.

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.

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 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-}.
