The final flight of the 2014 Seneca Summer Slam $50,000 Guarantee is underway. There are more than 40 players in their seats already and dozens more are expected in what will likely be the biggest flight of the tournament.
The survivors from the 11 a.m. Flight E have bagged and tagged for the day, and now it's time for the evening crowd to take their last shot at a guaranteed $50,000 prize pool in Event #5. This is the final flight of the special new tournament here at Seneca Niagara, and we're expecting a huge turnout of players trying to make tomorrow's Day 2.
This evening's fight begins at 6 p.m. ET, and the plan is the same as the first five flights: Play will end at the conclusion of 12 30-minute levels or when only 12% of the field in the flight remains. Each player begins with 15,000 in chips and registration and re-entries will be open until the start of Level 9.
We'll be providing complete coverage until the conclusion late tonight, so stay tuned right here at PokerNews.com!
