Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
It's normally quite tough to knock Paul "The Barnacle" McLean out of a tournament, but it'll be near impossible to do that here today, since he's already booked a seat in Sunday's Day 2.
McLean bagged a healthy 201,500 in Friday's first Main Event flight, but because he also won a second non-transferable seat through a $90 satellite in the Niagara Falls Poker Room, he's taking advantage of the best stack forward policy and taking another kick at the can today.
So far, his efforts to better yesterday's run are going swimmingly, with McLean grabbing the Level 6 chip lead moments ago.
He flopped a set of sevens and got it in against two shorter stacks with flush draws. They missed and McLean is closing in on 150,000 already.
