Jim Bucki, also known as Kristan Mackiewicz' dad, is looking to add WNYPC Title Holder to his many monikers.
He's off to a good start in that effort this evening, having found a double up to join the group at the top of the counts.
Bucki flopped a set of threes against a player with top pair queens. He filled up on the queen turn and they got it all in. Bucki's boat held and now he's got 30,000.
Clarence, NY's Peter Owczarczak got the full double up moments ago and is the Level 2 chip leader as a result.
He defended his big blind with the against a 125-chip open. On a flop he traded jabs with the raiser before ultimately four-betting all in. The raiser called with and whiffed the turn and river to send his stack over to Owczarczak.

It's time for the annual Western New York Poker Challenge, and having met every other challenge put before them, the people from this neck of the woods are more than ready for this one.
The 2017 instillation of this annual tournament series continues this evening with the fourth and final flight in the $100,000 guaranteed $300 No Limit Hold'em Event #1.
The first three flights Friday drew 468 entries and it has already smashed the guarantee. So far, just 72 players have pushed through to Sunday's final day where they will play down to a winner.
Tonight, like all the other starting flights, they'll start with 15,000 in chips and a plan to play 14 levels half-hour levels with registration and unlimited re-entry available through the first eight.
It should be another hotly contested heat and the action continues now!
