Flight E Ends with Hoss Colao Leading the Way

The fifth starting flight of the 2014 Seneca Niagara Summer Slam $50,000 Guaranteed event kicked off Wednesday morning at 11 a.m. The $125 no-limit hold'em event drew a field of 136 total entries, bringing the total field number to 564 with one flight still left to go Wednesday evening. After 12 levels of play in Flight E only 26 players remained, all of whom will return Thursday to play for the Event #5 title.

Leading the 26 survivors at the end of Flight E was Hoss Colao with 148,400. Colao provided plenty of entertainment early in the day with his friendly battles against two-time Summer Slam champ Joe Ciffa. Ciffa got the best of Colao first, eliminating him in a cooler spot when both turned a full house, but Colao re-entered and got those chips back and more against Ciffa later in the day.

Joining Colao in the century club at the end of Flight E were Jason Nablo (133,400), John Regan (121,500), Chris Drake (106,200) and Emmett Caldwell (104,300). Others advancing to Day 2 are Rob Bourkney, Peter Raimondi, Alicia Pachla, Ray Book and D.J. MacKinnon.

The Final flight of the event (Flight F) is already underway this evening. Be sure to stay tuned to our continuous coverage of Event #5 throughout the week!
