Welcome to Event #3 of the Seneca Fall Poker Classic!
![[user153906]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The 2014 Seneca Fall Poker Classic continues this morning at 11 a.m. ET with Event #3, a $300 no-limit hold'em event. For the first time this series a tournament will take place on the balcony of the Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel, and entry will be open to players 18 and up.
Each player will receive 20,000 in chips and the blind levels will increase every 30 minutes. Registration and re-entries will remain open for the first six levels. The one-day tournament will end when a champion is crowned later this evening.
Last night, Darrin Bracken joined Scott Hosbach as winners of this year's Fall Poker Classic. Bracken defeated a field of 560 entries to claim the $12,502 top prize in Event #2. We're expecting another big field today as players look forward to a long day of poker in Niagara Falls.
As always, PokerNews will be activating the MyStack App for today's tournament, allowing players to directly update their chip counts in the PokerNews blog using their iPhone or Android phone. We'll have more information about how to use My Stack once the action gets underway.
The action kicks off in less than an hour — we'll see you right here for a full day on the felt!

Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
Here's your random factoid for the day. Each of the first two champions at this year's Seneca Fall Poker Classic won with a spade flush in their final hand — both coming on the river.
On Saturday, Scott Hosbach took down Event #1 after a four-handed deal at the final table. The final hand of the tournament saw Hosbach move all in blind with the 
, Brian McCormick call with the 
, and Shogie Saysamone peek down at pocket sixes and call as well. Hosback rivered a flush on the 
board to end the tournament.
Last night's Event #2 came to an exciting conclusion when Darrin Bracken moved all in on a 
board with the 
. Michael Sweeney snap-called with the 
for a set, but the 
landed on the river to deliver Bracken's flush.
