Bourkney Slams Swackhamer

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Randy Swackhamer raised to 3,200 from middle position and Rob Bourkney called from the button to see a {9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop. Bourkney checked, Swackhamer fired a continuation bet and Bourkney moved all in. Swackhamer snap-called and needed help.

Bourkney: {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Swackhamer: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

Neither the {A-Clubs} turn nor the {9-Hearts} river saved Swackhamer and he shook Bourkney's hand before exiting the tournament floor.

Playing for a Fraction of the Buy-in

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Tournament Director Jay Brooks just informed us that 54 Main Event players have earned their seat to the big one by winning a satellite. That number will increase tonight as the poker room is hosting the last four qualifiers at 4 p.m., 6 p.m., 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.

Defending Champ Arrives

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Andy Spears won the 2013 Seneca Niagara Summer Slam and is back today to defend his title. He showed up four hours late because he was "playing cash games until 4 a.m." Regardless, he still has 50 big blinds to work with.
