Tonight's The Knight

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante
Josh Knight
Josh Knight

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 Gift of Glab

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante
Tim Glab
Tim Glab

South Buffalo's Tim Glab, who multi-tables PLO cash games on offshore online poker websites just for kicks, beat Paul Bitterman out of a big pot to build his stack up to twice where it started.

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

Dennis Fleig
Dennis Fleig

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 {10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{3-Spades}{a-Diamonds} 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.

Rob Weber
Rob Weber

Tadeusz Blaszczak turned a full house and ultimately got it all in versus Rob Weber.

Unfortunately for Blaszczak, the turn card also gave Weber quad eights.

Blaszczak was just seen ringing the re-entry bell while Lancaster, NY resident Weber has joined the early leaders.

Nothing Bitter About It

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante
Paul Bitterman
Paul Bitterman

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.

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante
Jerry Van Strydonck
Jerry Van Strydonck

Jerry Van Strydonck has jumped into the lead heading into Level 7 after recording a double knockout.

Local ginger-bearded legend Matt Marcinkiewicz and South Buffalo PLO king Tim Glab were both all in on a {4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} board. Van Strydonck made the call with a bigger stack.

Van Strydonck: {j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Glab: {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Marcinkiewicz: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{k-Spades}

Van Strydonck was in the lead with to pair when the money went in and locked it up on the {j-Hearts} river, which filled him up.
