Morin Misses Again

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

That second bullet didn't really work out for James Morin. He lost a couple of small pots then dumped most of his chips to Kim Long Trieu, getting it in with a gutterball versus the nuts.

Trieu's Broadway straight got the job done and while Morin was left with a handful of chips, that stack is now in front of an empty chair and blinding off.

The Second Bullet Set Up

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante
James Morin
James Morin

James Morin's second bullet appears to be going a whole lot better than the first.

He just stacked one opponent who flopped top set of tens. Morin's unlucky foe couldn't fade a queen on the river, which gave Morin a bigger set.

He's now sitting on twice the starting stack and looking to make this bullet count.

The Biggar Stack

Steve Biggar
Steve Biggar

Buffalo, NY local Steve Biggar has built one of the bigger stacks in the room already.

Most of it came courtesy of one 40,000-chip pot where he flopped a set of kings and faded a flush draw.

Biggar is among the early leaders now as the board reads 62 entries and climbing.

The Inevitable Blake Napierala

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante
Blake Napierala
Blake Napierala

Sitting in the small blind, perennial Seneca tourney contender Blake Napierala joined chip leader Evan Shaughnessy in calling one player's early position open to 1,400.

Napierala checked the {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop, but when the opener continued for 4,000 and Shaughnessy folded, he essentially potted to 12,000.

The opener folded and Napierala began his inevitable climb up the leaderboard.
