The 2015 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam continues this evening with the sixth and final starting flight 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.
So far, 755 entries have already helped the event push well past the $25,000 prizepool guarantee and tonight's flight is expected to be the biggest yet.
Any and all survivors will return to play down to a champion Thursday, joining the 98 players already through from the first five flights. Tom Babiarz currently leads them all, sitting on top of a massive 254,700-chip stack.
As with all other flights, players will start tonight with 10,000 in tournament chips and 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.

2015 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam Event #2 winner Galvin Van Brussel is running pretty good right now.
Of course, there's the Event #2 win, in which he refused a heads-up chop, then came from way down to capture the crown. Add that to the fact he's already bagged a stack from an earlier flight here in Event #3 and there's no denying he's on fire.
Van Brusel is trying to better what he bagged in this flight now and that effort got off to a good start moments ago when one player ran smack into his nut flush, shoving the river then mucking.
