Five flights down, one to go. Event #2 of the 2014 Seneca Fall Poker Classic continued Tuesday morning with Flight E of the $125 buy-in, $50,000 guaranteed event. A total of 125 entries filled the tables before registration closed, bringing the overall number to 445 entries through five flights. The guarantee will almost certainly be met during the final flight this evening.
Steven Solodiuk bagged the biggest stack in Flight E. Solodiuk picked up momentum when he busted former Fall Poker Classic champ Rick Block with ace-king against pocket eights. That pot pushed him above 100,000 in chips, and he continued building through the evening.
Also advancing with healthy stacks are Jack Vaccarello, Siewlee Keelaphan, Tyler Hutchinson and Tony Graziano.
Flight F is already underway here in the Seneca Poker Room. Be sure to stay tuned to our continuous coverage of Event #2 throughout the week!
