Fire Away
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Day 1b chip leader Paul Zalewski has come out firing and just moved past the 300,000-chip mark and into the chip lead.
Zalewski opened for 10,500 and got the call from Marianne Deguzman on his left. They went heads up to a 
flop that Zalewski checked.
Deguzman took a shot at it, making it 17,500, but Zalewski would not go away. The turn brought the 
and checks all around. However, when the 
river fell, Zalewski led out for a healthy 60,000 and forced a fold from Deguzman.

Don't Play
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
2014 MSPT Columbus champ Mark Sandness started the day with a message to his table that he's not to be messed with.
When Jeremiah Angell led out for what appears to be a standard raise of 7,000, Sandness took little time in firing in a three-bet, making it 19,500 to go.
Angell threw his hand in the muck.

Morford Moves Up
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Leon Morford has now pushed past the 300,000 mark and into the chip lead.
His latest move up the ladder came when he sent Pat Steele to the rail with 
over 
all in preflop. Steele flopped a queen, but Morford turned a king to do the deed.

Attila the Honey
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Using pocket tens, pocket jacks, and big slick, Kathalyn Holz-Zammuto managed to bust three short stacks already and has essentially doubled up to a spot among the chip leaders.
The player everyone calls "Attila the Honey" is now a serious contender once again.

Blooming Like A Belflower
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Christopher Belflower has shot into the chip lead after a meteoric rise from just 67,000 in chips to 350,000 in only a level and a half.
He doubled with kings on the third hand of the day, doubled with jacks on the sixth and pushed table captain Mark Sandness off a hand check-shoving with sevens on a ten-high flop to drag another sizable pot and move up and above the rest of the pack.
