The Sum Of All Things

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

With registration and reentry now closed in this final flight, it appears to have drawn 142 players.

That brings the event total to 520 entries, which created a guarantee smashing $83,891 prizepool that will pay the top 54.

The official payouts are yet to come, but it appears the winner will earn $19,300. Not bad for a $200 buy-in.

The Fifth Amplement

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Gene Amplement
Gene Amplement

Gene Amplement just passed the 100,00-chip mark.

It was two hands that did the trick for him. First he cracked aces flopping a set of eights, and even managing to fade the dreaded four flush.

Then, he flopped top pair and got second pair to commit heaps. After holding again, Amplement has joined the leaders now into Level 10.

Jason Nablo
Jason Nablo

Two legends of the Seneca felt just went heads up against one another. Two men entered, but only one man left.

It was Canadian Cameron Bartolotta versus local Niagara Falls hero Jason Nablo in a heavyweight tilt that saw Bartolotta try to trap with two kings and Nablo fall head first into it, shoving a gutshot.

Sure enough, the local boy made good, spiking the gutshot on the river and sending Bartolotta back across the border too late to fire a fifth bullet into this event.

'Murica...$@#k yeah!

Marcy Jo Phillips

Marcy Jo Phillips keeps on running hot here now past the six-figure mark.

Kim Long Trieu just became her latest victim, shipping it short after she opened. Paul McLean called the full raise, but after it went check-check on a flop with two tens, he folded to a turn bet from Phillips.

Of course, she had the ten and continues to lead as Trieu hits the rail.

Tim Brennan

Waverly, NY's Tim Brennan has emerged as the new chip boss headed into the flight's second break.

He had been chipping up all day when one opponent suddenly decided to shove 20,000 with the {a-}{7-}. Brennan had queens and called, holding to drag a 40,000-chip pot and move up to a peak of 65,000.

"That was crazy," he said with a confident smile.
