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.

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.
