Rochester, NY's Evan Shaughnessy has vaulted into the chip lead heading into the day's first break.
One massive hand did the trick and he's now closing in on triple the starting stack. The hand got exciting when one player three-bet aces preflop. Shaughnessy called with double-suited jacks and after a third player got it all in for less, he flopped top set.
After cracking aces and busting a short stack, Shaughnessy is officially running good and looking to go deep.
A pair of 2016 Seneca Niagara Summer Slam final table participants are among those now in the field.
Steve Bullard, who finished fourth in the $1,000 Deep Stack High Roller opening event, and Abe Reinhardt, who made fifth in the $50,000 Guaranteed $200 No-Limit Hold'em, have turned up.
They join at least a couple of familiar faces getting their four-card poker fix here into Level 4.
Nick Peperone has been on the right side of things to start the day.
The self-proclaimed local legend made Broadway, and then the nut flush versus a straight and two pair to drag a couple of mid-sized pots that amounted to an early double up.
James Morin said he hasn't played Pot-Limit Omaha in about five years, but rust wasn't as much a factor as run bad was in a pair of hands that saw him bust here in Level 1.
He got in a huge pot with a combo draw and missed, then flopped a full house only to beat by a bigger one on the river. The PLO roller coaster begins here at Seneca Niagara with Morin the first one to fall off the tracks. He's now taking a breather before what will likely bet the first reentry as well.
