Day 1f Started

Day 1f of the 2015 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam Event #3 $50 No-Limit Hold'em Starts Now!

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.

Buffalo's Mark Roberts got the early double up here in Niagara Falls to jump into the fray.

He made it 1,100 facing a standard open and called it off with {k-}{k-} when his heads-up opponent shoved.

Roberts cruised to the double against {k-}{q-}.

Van Brussel Rolling

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante
Galvin Van Brussel
Galvin Van Brussel

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 {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} nut flush, shoving the river then mucking.
