The Buck Stops Here!

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Buck Ramsay
Buck Ramsay

Defending Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam Main Event champion Buck Ramsay is no more.

He got short and ran sevens into Tyler Gardner's pocket aces, finding no joy on a board of blanks.

Ramsay, who absolutely crushes tournaments at Seneca Niagara, will have another chance to play defending champ again when the 2016 Western New York Poker Challenge comes around in the Spring.

Przybl Joins The Party

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Steven Przybl
Steven Przybl

Steven Przybl just took on chip leaders William Liang and Jeff Wells over on the table of doom.

He checked a {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop and when Liang led for 40,000 and Wells made it 80,000, he check-raise shipped it in for some 266,500 total. Liang wasted little time letting it go before Wells tank-folded.

Przybl is now up among the leaders at a table where four out of the biggest stacks in the room sit.

Katana Climbing

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Frank Katana
Frank Katana

Toronto, Canada's Frank Katana started the day with around 200,000 and has been hit by the deck so far.

Multiple sets, full houses and more have contributed to him more than doubling up to 480,000 and a spot among the leaders as the 54-player money bubble now approaches.

Kruger Out; Foster, Yanni Up

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Adam Foster
Adam Foster

Barry Kruger just busted, falling from grace after giving Adam Foster 100,000 with threes versus {k-}{j-} when Foster flopped two pair.

He gave the rest to John Yanni, whiffing with an open-ender.

As Kruger said goodbye, Foster moved up to a spot among the massive stacks and Yanni is just underneath, moving from under 90,000 to above 300,000 already after the hand with Kruger and a double up that saw him hold with queens versus {a-}{q-}.

Liang Leads!

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
William Liang
William Liang

William Liang is the new boss on the table of doom here in Niagara Falls, moving into the chip lead when he spiked a flush to bust one player and dragged a few more small pots.

He's in the driver seat now as the only player over 500,000 and fellow big stacks Jeff Wells and Kirk Acevedo at the other end of the table.

Pace Lights It On Fire

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Bruce Pace
Bruce Pace

Bruce Pace's downfall from 500,000 in chips very late in the night on Day 1b to half that, and now out, is complete.

He still came in with a healthy 250,000 today, but after gifting Andy Ranaletti and Blake Napierala 100,000 each with draws and undercards, he busted out unceremoniously and jumped in a cash game.

Acevedo Chips Up; Moved to Table of Doom

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Kirk Acevedo
Kirk Acevedo

Kirk Acevedo dragged a decent sized pot with queens holding over jacks on a ten-high board while betting all three streets.

He picked up approximately 100,000 in that hand before his table just broke and Acevedo moved his 400,000-chip stack over to a table that already includes fellow chip leaders Jeff Wells, William Liang and defending champ Buck Ramsay.

This one suddenly looks like a table of doom with an absolute ton of chips on it.
