No Grace For Buffalo Ray

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

'Buffalo' Ray Williams came in with a raise and 2015 Summer Slam Main Event finalist John Grace three-bet the small blind.

The big blind walked away but Williams called. Grace led for 3,500 on the {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop and Williams made the call. The {6-Clubs} turn saw both players check, but when Grace did the same on the {9-Clubs} river, Williams fired out for 6,500.

Grace made the call.

"I got counterfeited," Williams said, turning over the {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}. He was right, Grace had the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} and dragged the pot with the ace kicker.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Scott Aitchison
Scott Aitchison

There's a new sheriff in town and his name is Scott Aitchison.

The Niagara Falls Poker Room vet refused to be bluffed off second pair moments ago, allowing one eager opponent to empty the clip against him.

The result was another notch in the Aitchison belt as he busted the bluffer and earned a spot at the top of the Level 2 chip counts.

"Broke is what happens when a cowboy lets his yearnin's get ahead of his earnin's," Sheriff Aitchison may or may not have said following the hand.

John Aga

Getzville, NY's John Aga found an early double up and heads into Level 2 with the chip lead.

After a preflop raising war, Aga called a four-bet shove with {a-}{q-} drawing pretty thin. His opponent had the {q-}{q-} but Aga spiked an ace to bust him and vault straight to the top of the counts.
