Alan Wehbi
Alan Wehbi

Alan Wehbi has shot up to a spot among the chip leaders after one massive hand where he flopped top two in a three-way pot with {a-}{q-} and called all-in against one player with a flush draw.

The flush draw missed and he's now closing in on 400,000 in chips.

Another Early Riser

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

Adam Dembrowski represents the latest zero to hero story here in Milwaukee after rising from under 100,000 in chips at the start of the day into the chip lead.

He's the first player to reach 400,000 after busting one short stack with kings over threes, then getting three streets of value with tens when he flopped a set to drag a 250,000-chip pot.

Blooming Like A Belflower

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Christopher Belflower
Christopher Belflower

Christopher Belflower has shot into the chip lead after a meteoric rise from just 67,000 in chips to 350,000 in only a level and a half.

He doubled with kings on the third hand of the day, doubled with jacks on the sixth and pushed table captain Mark Sandness off a hand check-shoving with sevens on a ten-high flop to drag another sizable pot and move up and above the rest of the pack.

Morford Moves Up

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Leon Morford
Leon Morford

Leon Morford has now pushed past the 300,000 mark and into the chip lead.

His latest move up the ladder came when he sent Pat Steele to the rail with {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} over {j-Hearts}{q-Hearts} all in preflop. Steele flopped a queen, but Morford turned a king to do the deed.

Don't Play

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

2014 MSPT Columbus champ Mark Sandness started the day with a message to his table that he's not to be messed with.

When Jeremiah Angell led out for what appears to be a standard raise of 7,000, Sandness took little time in firing in a three-bet, making it 19,500 to go.

Angell threw his hand in the muck.

Fire Away

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Paul Zalewski
Paul Zalewski

Day 1b chip leader Paul Zalewski has come out firing and just moved past the 300,000-chip mark and into the chip lead.

Zalewski opened for 10,500 and got the call from Marianne Deguzman on his left. They went heads up to a {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop that Zalewski checked.

Deguzman took a shot at it, making it 17,500, but Zalewski would not go away. The turn brought the {6-Spades} and checks all around. However, when the {3-Spades} river fell, Zalewski led out for a healthy 60,000 and forced a fold from Deguzman.
