Get it locked, loaded and ready to fire as the third of six starting flights for the third event on the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic schedule kicks off inside the Niagara Falls Poker Room this morning.
Set at a price-point designed to attract top local rounders, recreational players and home gamers who think they might be on a heater, this $100 buy-in $50,000 guaranteed, multiple starting flight, multiple re-entry event promises to be exciting, as players fire away all day and night for a shot at big score.
They will get 15,000 chips at the start and must play through fourteen 20-minute levels, or until 12 per cent of the starting field remains, to push through to Thursday's second and final day. A total of 29 players are already there from the first two flights Monday with Day 1a chip leader Anthony Knoll and his 161,400-chip stack leading right now.
Registration and unlimited re-entry is available through the start of Level 9. With three more starting flights over the next two days, including another at 6 p.m. local time tonight, players can play more than one, even if they bag chips, taking their best stack forward.
The quicker structure, affordable buy-in and the Niagara Falls Poker Room's reputation for laying its guarantees to waste should make for big fields and a ton of action as this event plays out.
PokerNews will of course be on hand for it all, continuing at 11 a.m. local time, and you're welcome to follow along right here.

A few familiar faces are in the relatively small field to start today, including Warren Hart, who made 15th in Event #1 at the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic for $1,171 — The very first tournament the Orillia, ON, Canada resident ever played.
Things worked out so well the first time around, he's back for number two today and looking to parlay some of those winnings into an even bigger score.

Rochester, NY's Jin Quinn is on a heater out of the gate today.
"I've ran red hot the last half hour or so," he told PokerNews.
Highlights have included a full house over a straight for stacks and another big pot he took down with a set.
With the board reading 33 entries and the average still around the starting stack, Quinn will take a very cool sounding name and the early lead into the level before the first break.
