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.

Bitterman made trip kings. Glab had the same, but also paired another one of his cards to make a full house.

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.

Paul Bitterman got off to a rough start today and was forced to re-enter.
Pardon the pun, but rather than be bitter about it, Bitterman fired that second bullet and commenced grinding with a positive attitude.
So far, positivity has brought Bitterman threes full of nines in one big hand and almost 48,000 in chips.
