Just 19 of 170 Survive the Fourth Flight

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Tom Babiarz

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

This flight drew a total of 170 entries, playing down to just 19 remaining players as Level 15 came to a close. John Stempien built a big stack early, but lost a massive hand with an overpair to Tom Babiarz' two pair handing him the chip lead as the day wore on.

Babiarz kept his foot on the gas, even busting three players in the final five hands and bagging 254,700 and the chip lead by the time play was through.

In fact, Babiarz has taken the overall lead by some 50,000 chips, joining Day 1a chip leader Kyle Jeffery as the only player over 200,000 in chips.

These 19 survivors will join the 57 from the first three flights to come back and play down to a champion Thursday. In the meantime, the event will continues with the fifth and sixth of six starting flights beginning at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. local time Wednesday.

Tune in to PokerNews at that time for updates of all the action live from the floor of the poker room at Seneca Niagara.
