Day 1e of the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic $100 No-Limit Hold'em Starts Now!
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Leave the gun and take the cannoli as the fifth 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 even video poker junkies who just won a jackpot, this $100 buy-in $50,000 guaranteed, multiple starting flight, multiple re-entry event promises to be action packed, 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 57 players are already there from the first four flights this week with Day 1d chip leader Pat Tighe and his 238,300-chip stack leading right now.
Registration and unlimited re-entry is available through the start of Level 9. With one more starting flight set for tonight at 6 p.m. local time tonight, players can play more than one, even if they bag chips, taking their best stack forward.
The Niagara Falls Poker Room's reputation for laying its guarantees to waste is on the line today, currently needing 322 entries over today's two flights to make the guarantee, which should make for big fields and a ton of action today.
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 Favorite Emerges
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Day 1b of the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic $100 No-Limit Hold'em starts out as the busiest of the five flights so far with the board reading 72 entries already and a steady stream of players at the cage.
The room is buzzing and the chips should start flying with a bunch of regulars in the field playing for a big stack or bust early.
Plus, the field should grow exponentially with latecomers and a fair number of re-entries expected.
Bob Keihl has already fired twice, making him a favorite for the Sabres tickets at the very least.
"I'm in no mood Marty," he said when told of the good news.

Into The Break
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Toronto, Canada's Steve Chepurny has emerged as the chip leader heading into the break, grinding it up to 32,000.
The biggest pot he's played so far saw him pick up pocket kings and flop top set on a king-high board. Jacks called one bet, then folded to another, showing them on the turn.
In the meantime, Paul McLean got Steve Rokitka all in on a 
flop. McLean had the 
for bottom set against Rokitka's 
, but the 
turn turned things upside down.
Rokitka doubled and McLean was left to rebuild, somehow getting back to 9,300 a couple hands later.
A ten minute break starts now with the first four levels done.
