Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Sam DeSabio's big night rolls on here after he responded to a 1,200-chip open from a player in late position by making it 3,100 from the button.
His opponent called and they went heads up to a 
flop.
The late position raise-caller jammed in, but got snap-called by DeSabio on 
. He held 
and a ticket to ride or re-enter after the 
run out.

Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Randy Lingenfelter is back at the cage firing another bullet after giving all his chips to West Seneca's Jim Widmer.
Facing a Lingenfelter raise, Widmer shipped it in on a 
board with a healthy pot already in the middle.
Lingenfelter made the crying call with 
and needed help against Widmer's 
nut flush. Needless to say, none came.

Level 5

Jeffrey Joseph made quad threes early on to drag a 27,000-chip pot.
Since then he's out-kicked one top pair junkie and out-raced 
with 
to pull in even more loot on his way to building a chip leading stack.

Entry and re-entry is available until the start of the 13th level, meaning Day 1b is well on its way to surpassing the 113 entries Day 1a drew this morning.
