The third of four starting flights in the $200 No-Limit Hold'em $50,000 Guaranteed Event #1 on the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic drew a whopping 181 entries and re-entries at the the Niagara Falls Poker Room today, outdrawing the previous two flights.
When added to the 249 from the first two flights Friday, this 430 total puts the event well past the guarantee already, with a fourth and final starting flight also underway this evening.
After 14 levels of play, just 26 more players survived with David Wiles bagging the biggest stack out of this flight.
Mike Rellinger took the lead heading into the late levels turning his loose-aggressive style and the 
into a full house and a big payday. He couldn't help himself, though, and played his way lout of the lead.
In the meantime, Wiles, who rose up practically telling one player he had a set, then showing him as much when he called with a gutshot, continued to accumulate chips late and bagged 248,400.
Others, including early leaders Christopher Gaddi and Mark Roberts also bagged big, while local legends like Nick Walker and Pat Tighe hit the rail.
Yong Wolfer and Jason Nablo were among the other local favorites earning a spot in Sunday's Day 2, where a total of 59 will start so far. At this point, everyone is still chasing Michael Davis and the massive 342,000-chip stack he built on Day 1a.
In the meantime, the event continues with the fourth and final flight that began at 6 p.m. local time, so stay tuned for continued coverage of the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Event #1 right here on PokerNews.
