The Final Day of the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic $200 NLH Starts Now!
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
A champion will be crowned in the $200 No-Limit Hold'em $50,000 Guaranteed Event #1 at the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic today.
A total of 90 players will enter the Niagara Falls Poker Room at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino, just a stone's throw from the famous falls, and by the time things are said and done, just one will walk away $22,447 richer and a 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic title holder.
But first, there's a little bit of business, as players will have to carefully navigate their way past the 54-player money bubble and several pay jumps before reaching the final table, where the lion's share of the $96,738 prize pool awaits.
After four starting flights over the past two days, Day 1a chip leader Michael Davis and his 342,000-chip stack sit well above the rest of the field. In fact, no other player is even over the 300,000 mark, but names like Luis Ortis, David Wiles, Peter Alba, Kevin Reyes, and Brian Bowen should have a say in things moving forward as the only ones over 200,000.
Plus, there's a group of talented locals including [Removed:339], Alex Visbisky, Nicholas Goetz, Mark Roberts, Yong Wolfer, John Abraham, Todd Saffron, Rick Block and Nick Walker, all above the six-figure mark and champing at the bit to get going in the concourse outside the poker room right now.
Play will kick off at 11 a.m. local time with blinds at 1,500/3,000, a 400-chip ante. The length of today's levels increase to 40 minutes, leaving the tournament with enough play that it's really anybody's ball game right now.
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be inside the ropes from start to finish today, capturing all the action and feeding it to you in palatable live update form for your reading pleasure. Just sit back and enjoy as the first event on the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic schedule plays down to a winner, right here, right now.

Tyler Trades With Walker
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

turn was just salt in Walker's wound and the river a formality as Tyler pushed above 100,000 and Walker well below.
