Dave Grana
Dave Grana

After a four-way all in, Dave Grana has emerged as the early chip leader.

Grana flopped the nut flush versus a flush, top pair, and a gutshot straight flush draw. They all got it in and Grana held on to bust two players and leave a third emotionally and financially crippled.

He's now over 50,000 heading into the flight's fifth level.

Never Look Back

Jim Haynes
Jim Haynes

North Tonawanda, NY's Jim Haynes may have had to look twice to make sure he didn't have aces when he picked up {a-}{4-} moments ago.

Let's be honest, we've all made that mistake before.

However, no more looking was required when the flop brought both and ace and a four. By the time the dust settled, he was stacking 50,000 in chips and taking up a spot near the top of the counts.

Miceli Fights Back

Wide Right

Mike Flatley
Mike Flatley

Buffalo, NY's Mike Flately has taken the chip lead after finding himself on the right side of a classic cooler.

The cutoff made it 3,100, Flatley bumped it to 8,500 out of the small blind, and the cutoff shoved for close to 15,000 total. Flatley snap-called with the {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and the cutoff had the dreaded {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.

As if that wasn't enough, they both flopped a set. Ultimately, Flatley held and will take the chip lead and that classic 'Andre Reed' Buffalo Bills Glory Days T-Shirt with him, heading into the second break of the day.
