Alex Barker
Alex Barker

Clarence Center, NY's Alex Barker just became the first player over 100,000 in chips and is the leader now after a massive three-way all-in hand.

He got it all in with {a-}{10-} versus {8-}{8-} and {a-}{8-}, flopping and ace and holding to drag the 90,000-chip pot and bust two players.

Dae Dae's Day

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
David Battaglia
David Battaglia

David "Dae Dae" Battaglia is on a huge heater right now and just moved up to the top of the leader board as Level 12 comes to a close.

He got it in with {a-}{9-} versus pocket tens and although the player with tens flopped a set, he managed to hit two pair and turn a bigger boat.

After that double he grabbed even more chips when he got it in with {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} on a {7-}{8-}{2-}{4-} board with two hearts and flushed out on the river.

Registration Closed

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

With the registration and re-entry period now closed this flight drew a total of 206 entries. That brings the overall total from six flights to 961, creating what looks to be a $38,440 prizepool and absolutely obliterating the $25,000 guarantee.

Mucho Suerte!

Jose Emmanuel speaks very little English, but he definitely speaks poker.

He's bought in three times today and found some footing on this third bullet, now sitting on a 120,000-plus stack.

Walker Chimes In

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Nick Walker
Nick Walker

2014 Western New York Poker Challenge Main Event champ Nick Walker has just jumped into contention here once again.

He flatted a 4,000 open and was joined by a third player before a fourth jammed it in for 7,300. The original raiser called before Walker raised, making it 22,000 total. The other caller shoved for a few thousand more and after the original raiser folded, Walker made the call.

It was Walker's {k-Spades}{10-Spades} versus {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Walker got there making a pair of kings on the flop and a boat by the river.
