Gifting Glassman
Level 10
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Hayden Glassman got given a bit of a gift moments ago to soar up the leaderboard.
There was a limp, the small blind completed and Glassman made it 4,000 in the big blind. Somehow a seven got exposed, and after the limper folded, the small blind jammed.
Glassman called off some 44,000 all in with queens and the small blind somehow had sevens. Since this is not a story about the case seven, Glassman's queens held.

The Contender
Level 10
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Don't look now but perennial Seneca Niagara contender Silvio DeRubeis is now...contending.
Thomas Mader clawed back from an early bad beat to get over starting, but most of his rebuilt stack and a bunch of chips from a third player are now with DeRubeis. They got it in three ways preflop with Mader on jacks, DeRubeis on queens and the third player holding fives.
Needless to say, queens held and DeRubeis is on the way to six figures now.

Wagner Spears Spears
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Dan Wagner is a player in this thing now after three-outing Andy Spears to drag a massive pot.
It all started with a button raise from Wagner to 2,000. Spears three-bet the big blind, making it 7,500, and Wagner called.
The battle between these two local legends continued on the 
flop with Spears leading for 7,000 and Wagner calling. The turn brought the seemingly innocuous 
into play and Spears bet another 13,500.
Once again, Wagner flatted, and Spears jammed the 
river for 25,000. Wagner called with . Spears had big slick and Wagner until the river. He's now out as Wagner joins the leaders.

Bogulski Builds Busting MacKinnon
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Peter Bogulski is making moves up the leaderboard now and just busted top local rounder DJ MacKinnon.
Facing a 4,000-chip bet four-handed, MacKinnon shoved in for around 20,000 on a 
board. Bogulski had the 
for the nut straight, but took his time in calling, trying to draw others in. No others obliged and it turned out MacKinnon had turned two pair with the 
.
He bricked the river and said his goodbyes leaving Bogulski with his stack, a dream, and the ammunition to try and make it come true.

Nablo Out!
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
After a Summer Slam Main Event where he actually ran deep enough to show the PokerNews audience he can win a hand occasionally, we now return to our regularly scheduled posts about Jason Nablo busting out of tournaments here at Seneca Niagara.
The truth is he used up all his run good making third in a bounty event we didn't cover here last night and showed up today to watch big pair after big pair go down in flames.
After all that, he finally shoved the 
for peanuts and got looked up by the . Nablo pleaded with the dealer for an ace, when a jack would have done him just as much good, and the board rolled out a paintless 
, sending him home early.
