Perennial Seneca contender James Miller told PokerNews he "got it in bad and got lucky." But later admitted that what really happened is he played bad and got lucky.
Miller found a big double up after three-betting one opponent's 750-chip open to 1,750, then calling a 5,000-chip four-bet with the 
. He called another 7,000 on an 
flop, then got it in after the 
turn had completed his unlikely gutshot straight draw.
Turned out he had cracked a set of aces, and now has two-times the starting stack.

The players head into the second break of the day with the board reading 111 entries so far.
That number means today's field is already larger than Friday's Day 1a, and the $200,000 prize pool guarantee has already been surpassed, with registration and reentry still open for four more levels and through the 45-minute dinner break.
Play will resume here in about 15-minutes with the start of Level 7.
Level: 7
Blinds: 250/500

When Jim Burkett said earlier his luck would run out, he must have meant later, much later.
In fact, his heater has only continued here and he's now moved into the chip lead. Burkett has won big with aces, kings, a straight and a flush over the last hour and is on 125,000 and counting.

2014 Western New York Poker Challenge Main Event champ Nick Walker has begun the slow climb into contention for another title today.
He picked up about 10,000 chips flopping a full house a few minutes ago and has managed to slowly grind his way above double the starting stack already.

Rochester's Dan Bierworth is suddenly a contender to bag big after winning a few key pots.
The biggest seemed to be when he hit a gutshot straight against a set and he's simply grinded away since then, on close to 100,000 now.

The unfortunate soul who had his set of sixes cracked by Evan Jarvis' straight a little earlier, was none other than Pittsburgh, PA's Frank Dellaria.
Things continued to go south for Dellaria until he busted and was forced to fire a second bullet. This time around he made a set of sixes again, and it held. He's also had hot run of cards that included making a flush and now Dellaria is among the leaders here in Level 8 and is closing in on six figures quickly.

2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event champ Kurtis Boutelle is enjoying his second bullet a lot more than the first.
Moments ago, he turned rags into riches, flopping a ten high straight on a 
board to bust once player and drag a decent side pot from a third.
He's now closing in on a full double up and looks poised to make a run.
