In the shadow of the world famous Niagara Falls, the 2015 edition of Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam began today.
The annual multi-event series will run through August 2 with three major events culminating in the $600 NLHE Main Event with a $150,000 guarantee and the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on the floor providing coverage of it all.
Things got going at 11 a.m. with the first of four starting flights for Event #1, a $200 buy-in No Limit Hold'em tournament featuring 30-minute levels, 15,000-chip starting stacks and a $50,000 guarantee. Just 19 players survived from a field of 132 entries. The second flight began at 6 p.m. and registration will remain open until the start of Level 9. There is unlimited re-entries as well.
PokerNews promises keep you up to speed on all the action from start to finish and our coverage of Day 1b begins now into the flight's third level.

Saffron Spices It Up
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Todd Saffron has emerged as the early chip leader thanks to a rather good run of cards.
First he made quads over one player's full house to pick up some chips. A little later he managed to find himself on the right end of a set-over-set debacle and now has close to two and a half times the starting stack.

On A Heater!
Level 4

Alden NY's Jason Zawacki has started this second flight on a massive heater. He's flopped a boat, a straight, and two flushes on the way to triple what he started with.
As a result, Zawaki is cruising into the first break among the early leaders.

A Little Goes A Long Way
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
Ron Wheeler has jumped up to a spot near the top of the counts without the benefit of any big all-in confrontations.
"I've picked up a little here and there," he told PokerNews. "It adds up."
So far it's added up to around triple the starting stack.
