Nick Alafogiannis has slid into the chip lead now into Level 6.
He busted Kurtis Boutelle, getting him to commit with eights versus his aces and is now the first player past the 100,000 mark after they held.

Mike "The Mayor" Rellinger got put to the test moments ago, with one opponent shoving a 
flop into his 
.
It took a minute, but Rellinger decided he couldn't fold and made the call for his tournament life, passing that test when his opponent showed the open-ended 
.
The 
turn and 
river kept aces ahead, and it's bound to get a little louder in here now that Rellinger has talking chips.
Moments ago, it looked like 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event Kurtis Boutelle was on the wrong end of a massive cooler for all of his 14,000 in chips.
He got it in with the 
on an 
flop against an oppenent who had him covered and dominated with the 
. However, the 
turn saved his day, making them both the same boat.
The 
river didn't change a thing and Boutelle is still in, holding half of what he started the day with.
Kristan Mackiewicz flopped a set, turned a boat and got it all in on the river.
The only issue for her was that Rick Motzer had gone runner-runner to make a bigger boat. Motzer got the full double, leaving Mackiewicz with just a few thousand chips.
She tried to punt them off with 
soon after, but doubled up and is now back on the grind as Motzer joins the leaders near the top of the counts.

Dennis "Batman" Fleig, who had a swingy day yesterday where he peaked at over 120,000, then bagged just 55,000, is back at it again today.
Fleig told PokerNews he's fired this bullet to gamble, with a plan to either bag 200,000 or go broke and come back tomorrow to play the much shorter stack.
So far he hasn't had to gamble at all, getting one opponent to put his whole stack in after six-bets with jacks. Fleig had aces, held, and now has more than what he bagged Friday already.
Ohio's Jason Stockfish had seven or eight big hands before the break and has moved to the top of the counts here in Level 4.
One of the more sizeable pots included him busting a player by making aces up on the river against a bigger ace.
Now Stockfish, who took down the $550+50 Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic and made runner-up in the 2015 Western NY Poker Challenge $450+50 No-Limit Hold'em, has a big stack and apparently the knowledge of what to do with it.
Level: 4
Blinds: 100/200
Ante: 25
Time for the first break of the day. The board currently reads 84 entries and Level 4 will commence, with registration still open, in 10 minutes.
