Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
James DiPasquale has been on a heater of late and has now moved into the Level 5 chip lead.
He flopped trips and rivered a boat defending his big blind with the 
. Then he made a five-high flush of some kind. All in all, he's had it and others have been paying him off.
As a result, DiPasquale takes Level 5 chip lead honors, having run it up to almost 50,000 already.

Bang Bang Shot Down
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
It appears the memory of Julie 'Bang Bang' Billiteri's 2016 Summer Slam Main Event run is all we have left.
Billiteri busted out unceremoniously sometime over the past level and does not appear to have the appetite for reentry.
Sadly, the event must move on without one of Seneca Niagara's most colorful characters.

You Want It All
Level 6
: 250/500, 50 ante
Marcy Jo Phillips said she didn't 'need' the full house she made when the player to her right shoved 
and she called with two nines. But she'll take it anyway.
"It was pretty," she said. "Nines full of queens."
What she might find more useful is the chip lead that pot gave her. In fact, Phillips has over 50,000 now and a lot of play here in the 250/500 level.

Beating Brennan
Level 7
: 300/600, 75 ante
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 
. 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.

Marcy Jo Run Good
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
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.
