Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

The 2015 edition of Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam continues this evening with the the fourth and final starting flight for Event #1, a $200 buy-in No Limit Hold'em event with a $50,000 guarantee.

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.

A total of 67 players are already through to Sunday's Day 2 from three Event #1 flights Friday and this morning. So far the event has drawn 403 players, already laying to waste the guarantee.

The structure includes 30-minute levels and 15,000-chip starting stacks in the battle to join that group. Registration will remain open until the start of Level 9 and there is unlimited re-entries until then, plus a fourth and final flight set for 6 p.m. tonight.

PokerNews Live Updates are beginning at the end of Level 4.

Scanlon Rides Again!

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Tom Scanlon had a big stack early in the early flight today. Unfortunately, when his table broke and he found a new seat, he also found a way to go card dead,

Soon after, he went broke, but scraped up the $200 to get back in this flight and now finds himself in the lead as the fourth level comes to a close. This time around he's playing bluffcatcher, calling down one opponent with ace-high and another holding just top pair to build what appears to be heaps of chips at this point.

Pfeifer Returns!

[user127999]

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Local rounder Randy Pfeifer is coming off one heck of a 2015 World Series of Poker.

He spent the summer in Las Vegas making two major final tables and cashing in six events, including a 4th-place finish in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Millionaire Maker for $441,465 and tenth in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout for $16,740. He even made the final table of one of the Rio Daily Deepstacks.

To be honest, it comes to no one's surprise out here, as Pfeifer has built a reputation as Western New York's best tournament player with $1,429,575 in career tournament earnings and a bevvy of big-time final table appearances.

Although he skipped the first three flights, Pfeifer has jumped in the fourth this evening, firing multiple bullets already and getting close to needing another moments ago.

He raised 700 from middle position in a recent hand, getting one caller on the button. Pfeifer fired again at the {KdQc7c] flop, making it 1,050, but the button would not release. The turn brought another barrel from Pfeifer, who made it 1,825.
