Day 1d of the 2015 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam Event #3 $50 No-Limit Hold'em Starts Now!
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The 2015 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam continues this evening with the fourth of six starting flights in Event #3, a $50 No-Limit Hold'em tournament with a $25,000 guarantee, kicking off at 6 p.m. local time in Western New York.
The six starting flights will include two more Wednesday with any and all survivors coming back to play down to a champion Thursday. At this price point, and with this many chances to get in, this event should attract a bevvy of local rounders firing multiple bullets and recreational players taking shots, creating a massive prizepool that will surely dwarf the guarantee.
The last time Seneca Niagara tried something like this was at the 2015 Western New York Poker Challenge in March. The event saw 1,026 entries over six different starting flights creating a $41,040 prizepool. By all accounts it was a smashing success with veteran local rounder Randy Pfeifer being crowned the champion.
The first three starting flights Monday drew a total of 415 entries, putting the event well on it's way to smashing the guarantee. A total of xx players pushed through to Day 2 with the first flight's chip leader Kyle Jeffery holding the overall lead as the only player over 200,000 in chips.
Tonight, players will start with 10,000 in tournament chips with plans to play 15 full 20-minute levels. Registration and unlimited re-entry is available until the start of Level 13.
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.
