This time he ran queens into aces, flopped a set and got all of one opponents chips as a result. Winning another hand with a straight has Girdler firmly in the lead now heading into the day's first break.
In the meantime, Ray LaRouche, who chopped this event three-handed in the summer, has found a double up and a familiar spot in the top half of the counts as well.
Dennis Fleig has moved into a spot up near the top of the counts and sent Bob Kiehl home in the process.
The man they call Batman flopped top pair aces and the nut-flush draw and found Kiehl willing to get it in with the worst of it, drawing to a smaller flush.
Bradley Girdler flopped a set of kings to crack Bruce Pace's aces, sending him to the rail and picking up some extra change from a third player who called a flop bet, but thought better of it when it went in on the turn.
Girdler's now among the leaders and Pace has moved one seat over working on a second bullet.
The $1,000 buy-in $200,000 guaranteed 2016 Seneca Fall Poker Classic will kick off tomorrow with the first of two starting flights beginning at 11 a.m.
The event will be held on the hotel balcony at Seneca Niagara, meaning it's open to anyone 18 and up, but that's not the only thing that will make this year's Fall Classic Main Event a very special one.
For the first time, popular poker magazine CardPlayer has jumped on board as a title sponsor of the event, meaning there is more than just boatloads of cash and Seneca Poker glory up for grabs. This year's winner will also be featured on an upcoming cover of CardPlayer magazine.
Of course, PokerNews will be on hand to provide live coverage of the event from start to finish as well, so stay tuned.
As expected, they're off to a slow start this morning with just 17 entries so far.
However, there's a steady stream of new entries at the cage and with registration and reentry available until the start of Level 9, the event is expected to at least meet the $15,000 guaranteed prize pool.
