Davis Rising

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Mike Davis
Mike Davis

As he's known to do, Mike Davis is once again building a big stack early on in this event.

The biggest pot on his climb up the leaderboard came when he flopped top two pair and got one huge overbet called before forcing a river fold.

The rest has come the old-fashioned way: He's earned it.

David Battaglia has quickly risen to a spot among the leaders now after one big hand and a series of smaller ones.

First, he flopped a set of deuces and turned queens full before one player shoved nines into him. Then, after dragging a few pots without showdown he busted one shorty with {5-}{5-} holding over {a-}{q-} all in preflop.

The Double Gutter

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Matt Devins
Matt Devins

Utica, NY's Matt Devins fired in a raise under the gun with the {6-Spades}{3-Spades}. One player called and a third three-bet, but Devins would not let it go. The caller came along for the ride as well and when Devins flopped a double gutter, and he flopped a set, they got it in.

Devins made the low end of the straight on the turn and faded a paired board on the river to jump up to a spot near the top of the early leaderboard.
