Local rounder and former World Series of Poker final tablist Laurence Grondin has moved into the top spot on the leaderboard this level.
She three-bet aces from the big blind, flopped a set, rivered a boat and simply had to call when one over aggressive opponent pushed all in behind her.
He didn't show but claimed a cooler as Grondin climbed the ranks.

Liverpool, UK's James Fornby qualified for the 2015 partypoker WPT Canadian Spring Championship in a $1 partypoker satellite online.
And oh boy is he enjoying his first trip to Canada. He's been grinding it up all day and managed to make the nut flush against one opponent's straight to push up close to 100,000 and suddenly into contention.

He might of thought he needed help, but didn't against his opponent's

Kyle Chang keeps on trucking, flopping sets at a torrid pace.
He managed to flop two sets in a row moments ago, and a little earlier, flatted the big blind against a raise with deuces, flopping yet another one.
This time he got paid against what he thought was aces, check-calling all the way down to the river, then pulling out a check-raise that was eventually called.
Chang is now neck in neck for the lead.

Geoff McNeely built a big stack early on Day 1a but fizzled late.
Now he's back at it again, having fired another bullet today and built up enough to be considered among the chip leaders.
He's also been moved to one of the other leader's tables over the past few minutes, sitting across from Kyle Chang and representing a clear and present danger.
