Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

Dennis "Batman" Fleig knows a thing or two about betting pot.

Doing just that, Fleig dominated the final table on the way to winning the 2017 Western New York Poker Challenge $300 Pot Limit Omaha event at the Niagara Falls Poker Room earlier this year.

Moments ago he was seen doing it again, potting it on a board against two opponents. They both folded, but Fleig flashed Broadway before stacking the chips.

The perennial PLO contender is now on 40,000 and counting.

Tonight's The Knight

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante

Josh Knight has jumped into the early lead here in Level 4 after one massive hand.

He flopped the nut straight versus the second nut straight and faded all trouble when that same player turned a set.

Knight has better than three starting stacks and a big bushy hipster beard as well, putting him at the top of the leaderboard in both categories.

The Michigan Man

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Local rounder Chris Meyers has been running pretty good...in Michigan.

Six months ago he finished fifth in the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) event at FireKeepers Casino In Battle Creek, MI. At the time, it was the largest poker tournament in Michigan state history.

Last month they broke the record drawing an even bigger field to FireKeepers and Meyers returned to climb the ladder more than a little. In fact, he captured the title.

He banked $191,196 in the process, and took the lead in the MSPT Player of the Year race, which offers heaps of cash in buy-ins next season. To help secure the title, Myers will be travelling to MSPT stops in Wisconsin and possibly Minnesota before the end of the year.

But for now, he's back home in Western New York and looking to crush this PLO event in his home poker room.

The Gift of Giving

[user127999]

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

The holiday season is fast approaching and Mark Roberts is in a giving mood already.

After handing Chris Molica the chip lead with his first bullet, he's put Nick Peperone on top of the counts with the second one.

Roberts had bottom set versus top set again, although this time they both flopped it and Roberts had an open ended redraw. He missed that and Peperone now has a double stack.

Roberts was down to peanuts on bullet number two and considering a third. As Level 3 started he was seen ringing that re-entry bell again.

Omaha! Omaha! Hut!

[user127999]

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Cries of Omaha! Omaha! fill the room as a replay of Peyton Manning in Super Bowl 50 plays on ESPN Classics in the background.

Also, it's Pot-Limit Omaha day at the Niagara Falls Poker Room and all the best players from near and far will be doing it with four cards instead of two today, playing the great game of PLO.

Things start slow with the board reading just 20 players to start Level 2, but registration and re-entry is open until the start of Level 9 and a number of late comers are expected.

Here's a list of some of the players who turned up early ready to roll:

Peter Raimondi	21,000
Mark Roberts	20,000	20,000
Paul Bitterman	20,000	20,000
