Miller On Pace

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
James Miller
James Miller

James Miller has jumped in the lead on 120,000 now.

First he made trip sixes on an ace-high board, getting all of one over-eager player's stack with {A-}{j-}. Soon after, he got it in with {k-}{j-} on a jack-high flop with two diamonds versus Bruce Pace.

He said he was banking on Pace having a speculative hand, which is usually a good bet. When he was wrong and Pace had {a-}{a-}, Miller was forced to rely on the {k-} turn to make two pair and double up into the top spot on the chip counts.

2015 Seneca Niagara Summer Slam Main Event
2015 Seneca Niagara Summer Slam Main Event

With registration and re-entry now officially closed for all six flights, the days of the Niagara Falls Poker Room's perfect track record in exceeding its guarantees is over.

With 161 entries tonight bringing the total up to 594, there will be a small overlay. The players put $47,520 in the prize pool and the room will now have to kick in an extra $2,480 to meet the $50,000 guarantee.

Fear not though, as the staff here appear happy to juice up the local poker economy with a few thousand bucks and the entry fees collected will more than cover it.

The Niagara Falls Room will now look forward to starting another guarantee-exceeding streak with the beginning of the $200,000 Guaranteed $1,000 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event this Friday.

Break; Registration and Re-Entry Ending; Walker Favored in Sabres Draw

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Nick Walker
Nick Walker

Nick Walker heads into the break trying to win tonight's draw for a pair of Buffalo Sabres tickets.

Walker appears willing to fire another bullet to get a second entry in the draw, unfortunately, with just a few minutes left to rebuy, he's having a little trouble going broke first.

He got it in with {q-}{5-} against Scott Aitchison's {q-}{10-} and crawled out from under domination to triple up.

If he doubles up again he may have let it ride with the single entry and depend on Poker Room Supervisor Brian Bartoe's uncanny ability to draw the names of popular regulars and friends of PokerNews in this completely random and legitimate draw.

The entire field heads into a 15-minute break right now with the registration and re-entry period closing when play resumes.

Pick 'Em Up and Put 'Em Down

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Josh Deskovic
Josh Deskovic

Niagara Falls, NY local Josh Deskovic has vaulted to the top of the chip counts now, after winning a huge three-way all-in pot.

He had {a-}{q-} versus {a-}{3-} and {a-}{j-}, and even though the money went in when {a-}{3-} flopped aces up, a {q-} on the river ensured the pot would go to Deskovic.

In the meantime, both Bruce Pace and Marvin Baker continue to accumulate, with the latter picking up 20,000 after flopping a gutshot versus two pair and hitting it on the turn.
