Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Local cash grinder Chris Gras is coming off a spectacular performance in the first event on the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic schedule that saw him come back from a few chips and a chair late on Day 1, to the big chip lead in the money, before bubbling the final table.

Now he's worked the early levels here to take the chip lead heading into the second break on Day 1d of Event #3.

"That's how you become a live tournament wizard," he said, explaining that today's run has included queens holding over ace-high, getting some value out of pocket fives and a big pot where he flopped a set of aces against bottom two pair on an flop, holding to win some 40,000 chips.
