Lewiston, NY's Tyler Dietz rivered Broadway to drag an almost 90,000-chip pot, leap to the top of the counts and send someone on a trip to the ATM.
It's deep in the fifth level and the number keeps growing with 134 entries and reentries on the board.
In the meantime, Kurtis Boutelle bluffed off a bunch of chips to Jason Nablo, then put a $100 bounty on his head.
It's up to $200 now because Nablo won't keep quiet about it and Boutelle's getting sore.

Sharman Olshan got the double knockout to move into the chip lead here with no one over 100,000 chips yet.
Two players with club draws jammed a six-high flop for 20,000 chips each into her queens. Queens held and Olshan moved up to the 80,000-chip mark here in Level 4.
There are 120 entries on the board. The guarantee has been more than met already, and with registration and reentry available up until the start of Level 11, it looks like the 2016 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event is going to put up a big number today.

Kurtis Boutelle, who seems to either win every other big tournament here at Seneca, or make the final table, is taking the chip lead into the first break here.
He managed to flop trip nines with the ![]()
against Peter Raimondi's ![]()
to drag a big pot. Raimondi didn't go broke in the hand, but did help Boutelle push up close to 80,000 already.
Yvan Gravel drove all the way to Niagara Falls from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada just to play in the 2016 Seneca Fall Poker Classic and it's a good thing he got here on time.
He picked up pocket aces in the early going and got it all in on the turn against an opponent who had flopped three threes. It sounds like an aces cracked story but it isn't. Gravel had the
and his day was saved when the river put a fourth diamond on the board, making him a flush.
He's now the chip leader with the first short break of the day in sight.

[Removed:317] got in the biggest pot of the day in the first flight Friday, running kings into Frank Monaco's aces for almost 400,000 chips in the latter half of the day.
Monaco ended up bagging big while [Removed:318] fired up a late satellite. He ran into aces there as well, but is still back firing here in the second and final flight today, and this time, he's the one picking up aces.
[Removed:318] was all over the ![]()
![]()
flop and since his heads-up opponent in the pot had ![]()
, [Removed:318] has almost twice the starting stack already.
