Day 1d Completed
It was another busy night at the Seneca Poker Room as 109 players turned out for Flight D of the Seneca Niagara Summer Slam. The $125 no-limit hold'em event with a $50,000 prize pool features six separate starting flights across three days with the survivors advancing to Day 2 on Thursday to play down to a champion.
Leading the way when Flight D came to a close was Randy Swackhamer with 147,300. Swackhamer won a massive pot late in the night when his ![]()
held up against Matt Parry's ![]()
after all the chip went in on a ![]()
![]()
flop. That vaulted Swackhamer into the chip lead with 154,000 and he coasted the rest of the evening.
Joining Swackhamer atop the Flight D leaderboard were Chris Lang (145,800), Todd Saffron (133,400), Tony Rozario (126,000), and Doug Zimmerman (113,200).
The final two flights of Event #5 will take place on Wednesday and we'’ll have complete coverage of Event #5 until a champion is crowned on Thursday. The flagship $600 Main Event kicks off on Friday with the first of two starting flights, with the conclusion set for Sunday.
Thanks for following our coverage of the 2014 Summer Slam in Niagara Falls, New York. We’ll see you tomorrow!
