Another massive setup has sent another perennial Seneca title contender soaring up the leaderboard.
They're down to 14 and Alex Visbisky has 1.3 million after David Luppino ran kings into his aces all in preflop.
Thanks to cooler after cooler from the Niagara Falls Poker Room dealers over the past hour, the remaining field is shrinking super fast. The final table is now in site just a few minutes in to Level 23.
Level: 23
Blinds: 12,000/24,000
Ante: 3,000
Look out now! The original local legend is moving on up to the East Side, to a deluxe apartment in the sky, and is sitting over the one-million mark with a cheese eating grin on his face.
Jason Nablo took all of Brian Dugan's 600,000-chip stack over two hands. In the first, he won a race, four-bet jamming ace-king into Dugan's queens. An ace on the flop. Zero sweat.
Then, Nablo had the dominating ace-jack to Dugan's ace-ten all in preflop for the rest. He held.
Dugan's out and Nablo joins Matt Brunskole and Blake Napierala in the millionaire boys club heading towards the end of Level 22 with 17 left.
Level: 22
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
Ante: 3,000
Paul Zakamarko opened from middle position with about 300,000 behind. When it got to chip leader Brian Healy in the small blind, he pushed all in.
Blake Napierala had two black aces in the big blind and 880,000 in chips. He called! Zakamarko mucked and Healy had the 
.
Blake's 
cruised to the massive double up on a 
board that even gave him the salt-in-the-wound set.
Stop me if you've heard this before, but Blake Napierala is now leading after picking up aces in the dream spot for all the chips.
Healy is still in with a healthy 800,000 and they're dropping like flies around here, down to 18 and at the final two tables.
Level: 21
Blinds: 8,000/16,000
Ante: 2,000
They are down to 23 are three tables and Brian Healy and Matt Brunskole are in a dead-heat for the lead. Plus, there's a host of local heroes hanging around.
Here's how the stacks look smack in the middle of Level 21 at 8,000/16,000 blinds:
The day started out great for chip leader Alex Avdelopoulos. He took Sahar Khajavi's top-ten stack making a full house against her aces to add to his lead. Things went decidedly downhill from there.
Minutes ago, the downswing ended at the bottom when he got in 250,000 chips preflop with 
versus Brian Dugan's jacks.
The jacks held and while the start-of-the-chip leader is out, Dugan joins the leaders with 30 players remaining, closing in on the second break of the day.
Twenty minutes ago Chris Damick could be heard lamenting his luck, claiming all his big hands were already behind him.
Meanwhile, Scott Hosbach has been on a tear all day long, moving in the other direction on the leaderboard.
Now, the script has suddenly flipped. Hosbach managed to bluff off heaps into Damick's aces full and while Hosbach's now out, Damick is back near the top of the counts again.
Level: 20
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 2,000
