Level 15
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
The 2015 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam continued this evening with the sixth and final starting flight in Event #3, a $50 No-Limit Hold'em tournament with a $25,000 guarantee.
This flight drew a total of 206 entries, playing down to just 28 remaining players as Level 15 came to a close. Adding these 206 entries to those from the first five flights meant a total of 961 entries, pushing well past the $25,000 guarantee to create a $38,400 total prizepool. That means 54 spots will get paid with a min-cash worth $165 and $8,841 reserved for first - A massive amount, considering the $50 buy-in.
Tonight, David Battaglia ran good to jump into the lead as the flight wore on, then got gifted a whack of chips by Galvin Van Brussel late, who was shoving blind with a relatively short stack in an attempt to build a bigger stack than he had bagged in an earlier flight. In the end, Battaglia bagged 211,100, becoming just the third player over 200,000 headed to Day 2.
These 28 survivors will join the 98 from the first four flights, meaning 126 will come back and play down to a champion Thursday. At this point, they will all be chasing Day 1d chip leader Tom Babiarz and his overall leading 254,700-chip stack.
Tune in to PokerNews for the kickoff of Day 2 at 11 a.m. Thursday and updates of all the action live from the floor of the poker room at Seneca Niagara all day long.

Walker Chimes In

He flatted a 4,000 open and was joined by a third player before a fourth jammed it in for 7,300. The original raiser called before Walker raised, making it 22,000 total. The other caller shoved for a few thousand more and after the original raiser folded, Walker made the call.
It was Walker's 
versus 
and 
and Walker got there making a pair of kings on the flop and a boat by the river.
