John Stempien, who finished 13th in Event #1 on the 2015 Summer Slam schedule for $1,112, is off to a decent start today and looking for another top finish.

Massive Three-Way Pot Sees Klein Grab Lead

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante
Jeff Klein
Jeff Klein

Jeff Klein makes it 2,100 preflop and Tyler Nichols, Cameron Bartolotta and a third player call.

The flop rolls out {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Klein gets it in, getting called by Nichols. Bartolotta then shoves over the top and Nichols calls again.

Klein held {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and was ahead against Nichols' {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Bartolotta's {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flush draw. The {10-Hearts} turn and {3-Hearts} river changed nothing as Klein scooped to grab the chip lead, Nichols took the side pot and Bartolotta was left short.

Anthony "Gucci" Pugliese
Anthony "Gucci" Pugliese

Anthony "Gucci" Pugliese is on fire right now, pushing past the 50,000-chip mark already and into the lead.

"I haven't lost a hand yet," he told PokerNews. "If I'm in it, I win it."

His hot streak has included one set-over-set situation and a second big win where one player tried to bluff him off top two to no avail.

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante
Joe Dantuno
Joe Dantuno

A massive hand just saw Niagara Falls' Joe Dantuno leap into the early lead.

Dantuno led into a {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop and the player behind him three-bet to 4,000. A third player in the hand promptly shoved and Dantuno snap-called with {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. The raiser called with {7-Hearts}{6-Spades} for the open-ender after confirming the re-entry period was still open and the all in player turned over {9-Clubs}{5-Spades} for top two pair.

Dantuno's set of fours held after a {q-Hearts} turn and {7-Spades} river.
