Blake Building

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

It wouldn't be a Seneca Niagara tournament without Blake Napierala near the top of the leaderboard. We recently walked up to Table 6 to find Napierala betting 11,000 on a {J-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop. The player in Seat 8 called, and Ray Book check-shoved all in for around 26,000 total. Napierala briefly paused before moving all in himself, pushing out the other player.

Book: {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Napierala: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The {4-Hearts} turn and {7-Diamonds} river finished off Book, and Napierala vaulted above 100K in chips.

Hosbach Busts Another

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

After a short stack moved all in with the {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, Scott Hosbach called from the big blind with the {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. The {4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} board shipped another pot to Hosbach, who is the first player to hit the 300,000 barrier today.

With that, we're down to the final three tables.

Gaddi Crosses 100K

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

With the board showing {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{J-Diamonds}, Scott Gaddi bet 19,000 and his opponent moved all in. Gaddi snap-called with the nuts, but he still had several outs to fade.

Gaddi: {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{8-Spades}

The river bricked, and Gaddi scooped a huge pot to increase his stack to 116,000.

Spears Sent Packing

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Andy Spears
Andy Spears

Andy Spears was all in with the {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} on a flop of {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} against an opponent's {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, but Spears whiffed on his straight draw and is now out of the tournament. The reigning Fall Poker Classic Main Event champ will have to wait for another chance at a title in this series.
