The Kaplin Came Back, The Very Next Day
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Leo Kaplin just got back all the chips he bought and paid for and then some.
On his second bullet, he got it in three ways on a 
flop, holding the 
set versus David Olshan's pocket aces and a third player's 
.
The 
turn filled him up, but gave the some outs. The 
river wasn't one of them and Kaplin got the double knockout to move above two starting stacks.

Take A Bow
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Perennial Seneca contender Brian Bowen is yet another player finding his second bullet much friendlier than the first.
As reported earlier, he got aces cracked to bust, but after buying back in, Bowen's on the upswing.
He turned eights full of jacks versus trip jacks to drag a healthy pot, then made a flush to push his stack up to 50,000. Now, if he could just get aces to hold one time, he'd really have something.

Too Many Outs
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
Top Seneca tourney player Chris Damick just stole a bit of Louie Tomassi's early thunder with a timely river card.
After a third player led 3,000 into a 
flop, Damick bumped it to 13,000. Tomassi called and the third player folded, sending them heads up to a 
turn. Damick fired all in for 15,000 and Tomassi snapped him off with the 
two pair.
Damick's 
had all the outs in the world and the 
river was one of them, giving him a straight. Now Damick has the Level 5 lead with Tomassi and a group of others closely in tow.

Beez In The Trap
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
Amin Akhlagi was trapping Bruce Pace when he flopped a set of fives and just called a Pace bet.
When a king came on the turn and Pace led out again, Akhlagi sprung that trap, shoving in for a little bit more.
Pace snap-called with two kings, having wiggled his way out of trouble turning a set of his own. A fourth five did not come on the river and it's Pace climbing the counts with Akhlagi out.

Back Door Blockers
Level 6
: 250/500, 50 ante
Toronto, Canada's Joe Perruzza joins the leaders on a 70,000-chip stack after getting there through the back door against one opponent.
He flopped a flush draw versus top pair aces, then went runner-runner two pair. In the end, his opponent was willing to go with it and Perruzza snapped him off.
In the meantime, at the same table, Rick Block won the first seven hands he played to cruise to an early double up and more.
However, it's Chris Damick dominating one table over that remains the real story here. He hit a set of fives to bust one player and has now become the first one with a six-figure stack.

Biggie Smalls
Level 7
: 300/600, 75 ante
Buffalo, NY's Rayshawn Smalls has a big stack now after flopping the mortal nuts with a redraw to the real goods.
His 
was all over a 
flop with two hearts, and although he never managed to make that elusive straight flush, his six-high straight held against a player willing to get it in with pocket tens.
Now Smalls has 85,000 and a spot near the top of the counts headed into the 15-minute color-up break.
