Day 1c Of The $25 Guaranteed is Done

The third starting flight of the 2015 Western New York Poker Challenge Event 5: $50 No-Limit Hold'em is over and done with.

This early flight drew a total of 108 entries and played right down to the end of Level 15 with 13 players surviving.

They will join the 30 total survivors from the first two Day 1 flights Monday in coming back to play down to a winner Thursday at 12 p.m. local time.

Derek Hinchliffe grabbed the chip lead in the later levels after getting it in bad and making two pair on the river to double before getting paid off huge with a set.

Then Allison Shultz took it away in a massive flush-over-flush hand over at another table.

However, a late flurry from both Sherry Dixon and Mark Dobbertin left them both tied for the biggest stack at the end of the day on 154,500.

There are three more starting flights, including two on Wednesday and the fourth Day 1 set for 7 p.m. local time this evening.

The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be back then to keep you up to date on all the action from start to finish.
