Erie, PA's Joe Malec has had about as good a 15 minutes as a poker player can have and now sits on the top spot on the leader board as a result.

He found both a straight flush and quads in that 15-minute heater and his stack is closing in on 60,000 now.

Speaking of quads, the player next to him had four-of-a-kind twice in a row, but still has about a starting stack due to some bad luck earlier. Strangely, someone also hit quads on table over as well.

However, Malec is the man right now with roughly half the field of 64 entries already gone.
