Hard Way To Make An Easy Living
Level 5
: 100/200, 25 ante
Leon Martin has worked his way up to double the starting stack without the benefit of any big all in confrontations.
"Just working hard," he told PokerNews.
Some of that hard work included defending his big blind against a 600-chip open. Then joining the raiser in checking a 
flop.
Martin led on the 
turn, however, making it 600, but failing to shake his heads-up opponent. He fired away again on the 
river, making it 1,200, and this time he got a fold to book the hard working win.

A New Plan
Level 4
: 100/200, 0 ante
Tyler Nichols started out hot in the early flight today, then fizzled late.
He's back at it again this evening and has a new plan.
"I want to get a lot of chips going into the later levels," he said. "I don't care how I get there."
So far it's all systems go, as Nichols has used an uber-aggressive style to chip up and essentially double up in the middle of the flight's fourth level.

Grand Island, NY's Dave Grana has grabbed the early lead thanks to a little good fortune.
First he rivered a full house against a turned straight to double up. Then he made it 450 over one limper and called it off with 
when a third player pushed in a short stack with

Jacks did more than just hold on a 
run out.
