As usual, Blake Napierala is mowing down the field here at Seneca Niagara, sitting on 430,000 chips and counting.
Among the tournament lives Napierala has snuffed out on his way to the top was that of Jeffery Hobrecker, who squeeqed into the money before getting it in for under 40,000 with a weak ace against the unbeatable Napierala's ![]()
. Hobrecker ran into the run good one way or another and it's over for him as Napierala takes hold of the lead.
There's 47 left now as the post bubble fall continues.

The last hour of Jeff Klein's life has been a good one. Perennial contender Klein started the day with just 54,200, but over the past 60-minutes, his stack has ballooned to 415,000.
He's had all the setups, hit every flop, had all the big hands, and now has a lot of the chips as they head into the end of Level 18 with 41 remaining.
"Any Two" Bruce Pace is still running like a God and is also among the biggest stacks in the room.

to win a 300,000-chip pot, and climb up to lofty heights on the leaderboard.
