Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
With two player notorious for building big stacks and blowing them up here at Seneca sat one seat away from each other, Table 8 here in the Niagara Falls Poker Room appears to be one worth watching as Level 11 comes to a close.
Talented local Nick Walker is certainly interested. He's on their direct left and licking his chops at the site of wildcards Alex Rivera and John Stempien.
They're all about evenly stacked going into the late levels, but history would suggest that's likely to change fast.
