It's a Different World

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante
Mike Rellinger
Mike Rellinger

Mike Rellinger, who tripled up in the early levels of the early flight today, then busted before bagging, is back here in the 6 p.m.

He's off to a fast start again, sitting on an early double and hoping for a different result.

This time he won a big pot with a rivered set of threes, despite his value bet remaining uncalled, then he flopped two pair in a battle of the blinds to drag another one.

Van Brussel Rolling

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante
Galvin Van Brussel
Galvin Van Brussel

2015 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam Event #2 winner Galvin Van Brussel is running pretty good right now.

Of course, there's the Event #2 win, in which he refused a heads-up chop, then came from way down to capture the crown. Add that to the fact he's already bagged a stack from an earlier flight here in Event #3 and there's no denying he's on fire.

Van Brusel is trying to better what he bagged in this flight now and that effort got off to a good start moments ago when one player ran smack into his {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} nut flush, shoving the river then mucking.
