'Tricky' Ricky Block, whose stellar record here at Seneca Niagara includes a Summer Slam prelim win and a Fall Classic Main Event Title, has emerged as the Level 5 chip leader, closing in on 100,000 already.

He managed to river trip sevens in a four-bet pot with the {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} to start his ascent up the leader board. The very next hand he picked up two kings to snatch a few more chips and is off and running.
