The first of six starting flights for the The 2017 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam $125 No-Limit Hold'em Reentry event drew 42 entries inside the Niagara Falls Poker Room at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino Monday.

With 9:56 left in Level 11 they reached six players remaining, representing 12 percent of the field, and play was halted.

John Abraham played a fast and loose style all day and when he got trapped, he found a way out of it to build a lead and a decent stack of 143,200 that he will take with him through to Thursday's Day 2.

Abraham is the leader in the clubhouse, but there's a lot more poker to be played in the meantime.

The second of six starting flights for the $125 No-Limit Hold'em Reentry event will go off at 6 p.m. this evening with four more set for the next two days.

The 2017 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam tournament series continues today inside the Niagara Falls Poker Room at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino with the $125 No-Limit Hold'em Reentry event.

It's about poker. It's about fun, and it's about an opportunity to win a lot for just a little.

This $125 buy-in event has six starting flights over the next three days, so despite the affordable buy-in, it's aimed at creating a big prizepool. In fact, it's guaranteed to be at least $25,000, but if past incarnations of these types of events are any indication, it should get almost double that.

Everyone from top local rounders to bingo players getting off the shuttle bus can take a shot, multiple shots if they so choose. In fact, unlimited registration and reentry is available through the start of Level 9 in each flight and even those who bag one flight can take a shot at another one in an effort to bag even more. They will carry the best stack forward.

Each flight will start players off with 10,000 in chips and play 14 full 30-minute levels or until 12 percent of the entries remain. Those who survive will push through to Day 2 Thursday where the big money awaits.

The first flight starts at 10 a.m. local time and there's another at 6 p.m. tonight. Rinse and repeat for the next couple of days.

It should be a wild ride from start to finish with plenty of poker action and you're welcome to follow along with it all right here on PokerNews.
