The 2015 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam continued today with the first of six starting flights in Event #3, a $50 No-Limit Hold'em tournament with a $25,000 guarantee.

The flight drew a total of 117 entries, playing down to just 15 remaining players as Level 15 came to a close. Kyle Jeffery fired a late bullet into the flight and quickly ran it up, making hand after hand until he bagged 204,200. No one is even really close at this point.

These 15 survivors will come back to play down to a champion Thursday, but the event continues at 6 p.m. ;local time this evening with a second starting flight.

Stay tuned for a ton of action from the falls as the PokerNews Live Reporting team will be on hand for it all from start to finish.

Kyle Jeffery has emerged as not just the first player past the 100,000-chip mark, but the first player past the 200,000-chip mark.

He made a set of eights and faded a combo draw to drag a six-figure pot and is now cruising to the close with 210,000 in chips and a massive lead over the remaining field.

Les Cohen has emerged as a contender for the chip lead late.

His first bullet ended in the first orbit today, but the second has gone much better.

"I've had a lot of good hands," he told PokerNews as he pushed up close to the 100,000 mark.

T- Minus

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Local legend Travell Thomas just became Kyle Jeffery's latest victim.

He turned up just before the registration period ended, then got it all in with {k-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} versus Jeffery's {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. They both turned a jack, but the kicker played.
