Day 2 of the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event Starts Now!
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
On a bright and crisp Sunday morning in the shadow of Niagara Falls, Day 2 of the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event is set to go off.
After two starting flights drew 291 entries, crushing the $200,000 guarantee, just 60 players remain in the hunt for a piece of a $256,866 prize pool. The money starts at 27 and a while a min-cash is worth $1,952, a championship trophy, Seneca Niagara poker glory and a $62,933 top prize awaits the winner.
The winner of both the 2015 Western NY Poker Challenge Main Event and the 2014 Summer Slam Main Event here at Seneca, Port Colborne, ON, Canada's Buck Ramsay has the inside track on all that. He got hit by the deck once again, building a massive 461,500-chip stack on Day 1a and will bring the lead into Day 2.
Capturing this title will be no easy task, however, as a host of the area's best players fill the top of the leader board, including defending Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event champion Rick Block, 2015 Western NY Poker Challenge prelim winner Pat Tighe, and 2013 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event finalist Jason Nablo.
Plus, some of Western New York's most respected rounders will come in with six-figure stacks and a true desire to win, including Joe Ciffa, Alex Rivera, Cameron Bartolotta, Silvio DeRubeis, Keith Mueller and David Battaglia.
Play will resume at 11 a.m. local time with blinds at 2,000/4,000 with a 500 ante as the field squares off in a battle for a seat at the 2015 Seneca Niagara Poker Classic Main Event final table planned for Monday.
PokerNews will be on hand from start to finish and you can follow along right here.

Tighe Leads!
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
It's a slow start for everyone in the room outside of Pat Tighe, who continues on a heater from last night.
A number of short stacks busted to other short stacks, leaving just 54 remaining. But Tighe just moved into the lead, busting two players in a single hand and winning a 300,000 chip pot.
It was all in preflop with Tighe's 
holding versus Keith Mueller's 
and Joseph Calderon's 
on a 
board.

Cam Newtoned!
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Looks like an early shower for Canadian Cameron Bartolotta, who lost half his stack flopping a set of sevens, then calling off on the river of a four-heart board with the 
.
Turned out Anthony Sgroi had turned the nut flush and didn't need the fourth heart. Bartolotta busted soon after a table break.

Boyle(d)
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Sandra Boyle flirted with the lead for most of Day 1b, but found the exit early today.
She ran two jacks into St. Thomas, ON, Canada's Jason Park and his two aces. A board of bricks sent Boyle packing and vaulted Park up the counts.

Buck's Back
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Some solid decisions have led Buck Ramsay back up into a dead heat with Pat Tighe for the lead now.
The latest included calling one shorter stack's 60,000-chip shove with two sixes. The pair held against 
on a queen-high board that gave Ramsay's opponent a gutter on the turn, but not much else.

Must See TV
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
The case nine just helped William 'TV' Ho take a huge chunk out of Pat Tighe and vault into a spot among the leaders.
Ho flopped a set of nines with the 
in the hole and Tighe's 
hit top pair with some back door possibilities.
They got it in for Ho's tournament life and the set held.
