In A Van Down By The River
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
Facing a 2,500-chip bet on an 
flop, Dennis Durante shipped it in.
The bettor called with the bottom end of the straight holding 
and was ahead against Durante's 
combo draw.
The 
turn didn't change a thing, but the river did, making Durante the higher straight. He got up to leave, but was welcomed back to a stack worth twice what he started with.

These Two Kings
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
Taylor Redrick picked up two red kings and was fortunate enough to find another player at the table with 
and a willingness to get it all in preflop.
They did so and he doubled on a board of blanks.

The Place To Be
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
It appears the poker room at Seneca Niagara is the place to be on a Tuesday night in Niagara Falls.
So far the board reads 75 entries and counting with a line up at the registration cage. This is by far the most they've had at the start of each of the first four starting flights for this event.

All Set For Day 1d
Day 1d of Event #5, a $25,000 Guaranteed No-Limit Hold'em tournament with a $50 buy-in, will begin at 7 p.m. this evening
This is fourth of six starting flights that will continue to play out over the next two days. The first wrapped up just after 4 p.m. Monday with 113 total entries and just 13 survivors.
The second finished just after midnight this morning, drawing a total of 136 entries with 17 making it through to Thursday's second and final day. And finally, the third was done around 5 p.m. today drawing 108 entries with 13 survivors.
Players get 10,000 in tournament chips and will play 15 20-minute levels or until just 12 percent of the total entries remain.
Unlimited re-entries are permitted up until the start of the 13th level and players can jump in as many starting flights as they like, carrying the biggest stack forward to the final day.
The affordable buy-in and re-entry format is designed to attract both veteran rounders and recreational players and should be a fun ride throughout as players try to build a contending stack.
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is in the building and will endeavor to keep you abreast of all the action throughout.
