Level 8
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
2016 Western New York Poker Challenge runner-up Charles Johnson has started to make a run here.
The big hand that saw him leap into contention started when he looked down at two sixes and raised it up to 4,000. One opponent made it 12,000 and Johnson called, seeing a miracle 
flop. Johnson check-called 12,000, then check-raised 25,000 when the turn bricked, clicking it back to 50,000.
His opponent pushed in with two jacks and Johnson snapped it off with his full house. The boat held when the river bricked as well.

In the meantime, Joe Ciffa sent Dan Wagner packing on that same table.

David Battaglia raised it up with the

river.

Coming off a 2016 World Series of Poker where he made a deep run in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship and cashed in the Main Event, local rounder Chris Meyers is off to a hot start here as well.
He made aces up versus jacks up to drag a big pot, then value bet three sevens on the end in another hand, only to get raised. Meyers called and picked up another big haul when his opponent mucked.
