Matt Cafarella
Matt Cafarella

Local Boss Matt Cafarella busted Adam Foster to make a big time move up the leaderboard.

Seneca Killer Silvio DeRubeis got the usual upgrade to first class as well.

Hand-for-hand on the the bubble was about to start half way through this level, but someone busted on that hand and the rest of the field sounds like a jovial bunch now, all in the money, with no delay.

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Blake Napierala
Blake Napierala

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 {j-}{10-}. 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.

Klein Climbs The Counts

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Jeff Klein
Jeff Klein

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.

Abe Reinhardt
Abe Reinhardt

Abe Reinhardt's been on the steady climb all day and has now moved into the lead in the chase for seats at the final table and the $21,246 up top.

Reinhardt busted Darrin Bracken moments ago, three-bet calling it off preflop with queens against Bracken's ambitious {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} to win a 300,000-chip pot, and climb up to lofty heights on the leaderboard.

Rodolfo Navas
Rodolfo Navas

The field has been trimmed to 28 players on three tables with Rodolfo Navas coming out of nowhere to get his name spelled correctly and grab the chip lead.

It starts to get relatively serious from here with the final table in sight and all that money up top.

Below you'll find an updated count on most of the stacks still in it.
