To the surprise of no one who has been paying attention to the results of the 2015 Western New York Poker Challenge thus far, Jerry Calvaneso has vaulted in the chip lead and is the first player to hit the six-figure mark.

He bumped it up to 5,000 preflop and got one caller, who shoved all in on an {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop after Calvaneso checked.

Calvaneso called with {a-Spades}{7-Clubs} and was in front against his opponent's {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. He stayed there after two blanks on the turn and river and is now stacking the chips - a familiar site at Seneca Niagara.
