Level 11 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

2015 Western New York Poker Challenge Event #6 champ Dave Lisacchi has been working a nub most of the day.

But just moments ago he finally pushed over the 100,000-chip mark to begin a late run here on Day 1b.

All it took was getting it all-in preflop against a shorter stack with fives versus aces an spiking a set to crack 'em.
