Chris Molica has jumped into the lead now, thanks to Robert Petronito.
Molica flopped a set and Petronito barrelled away until he was left with a stack in need of renovations and Molica was the first player over the 600,000-chip mark.
Jeffrey Hobrecker just got healthy again, winning a 300,000-chip pot off Michael Shavensky without having to show.
Hobrecker was all in for his tournament life and 170,000 in chips with 300,000 sitting in the middle on the river of a 
board and Shavensky was left with a decision for most of the rest of his stack.
Ultimately, he folded and Hobrecker breathed a sigh of relief, moving back near the top of the counts again.
Dan Wagner strides into Level 19 with the lead after picking up jacks and busting Jeremy Joseph in a flip.
It also didn't hurt that former leader Jeffrey Hobrecker is trending downwards, sitting on a little over 300,000 now just a few spots off the money bubble.
In the meantime, Paul McLean had aces hold in a decent sized pot to move up the ranks.
Level: 19
Blinds: 4,000/8,000
Ante: 1,000
Dan Wagner made the big move up and over the 500,000-chip mark busting John Macdonald with a three outer.
Wagner told Macdonald he was going to crack his kings when the money went in, and sure enough, he did.
In the meantime, Alex Visbisky has stopped his slide, getting it in with pocket queens versus tens, and flopping a set against an open-ender. Queens more than held with Visbisky making quads to double.
It's back to Michigan for Vinnie Ho, who is no longer here and missed the money thanks to Alex Rivera.
Ho's fateful hand started with a Rivera open to 13,000 with big slick. Ho made it 28,000 with ace-queen and Rivera shoved in for 150,000 effective.
Ho called it off, they both missed, and after taking Ho out, Rivera grabbed a spot in the top ten on the counts.
With Ho's exit, they are down to 34 on four tables and the money bubble is inching ever closer.
Michael Shavensky has moved up into the 400,000-chip range after starting the day with just 121,000.
Two big hands did the trick, first he pushed Alex Rivera off a big pot with a pocket pair, then he won a more-than-200,000-chip flip with ace-queen versus nines.
Shavensky's among the leaders now with the money bubble in sight.
Level: 18
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 500
Chris Molica has replaced Alex Visbisky near the top of the counts after a huge hand went down between the two.
They went back and forth preflop before Molica bet 100,000, Visbisky shoved and Molica called all in for over 250,000 total.
He had two kings and Visbisky only had one, with an ace. No ace came on the board and Molica doubled through to vault up the counts and leave Visbisky with less than half his once monstrous stack.
Molica now heads into the break in the top two on the leaderboard with 41 left.
Nicholas Potwora has vaulted into the chip lead after getting in a massive pot heads up with 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event champ Kurtis Boutelle.
The defending champ raised pocket sevens and after Potwara three-bet the big blind with aces, Boutelle flatted.
Potwara led the 
with-two-clubs flop and Boutelle made it 110,000 with his open-ender. Potwara ripped it in for around double that and Boutelle called it off for his tournament life.
Aces magically held, Potwara moved on top of the chip counts, and there will be a new Seneca Fall Poker Classic champion crowned this year with last year's on the rail now.
