![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Seneca Niagara's 2016 Summer Slam schedule kicks off today with the $1,000 Deep Stack High Roller beginning at 11 a.m.
The Niagara Falls poker room has been running satellites for the big event, including one this morning, and that should help beef up a field that will otherwise be filled with some of the top rounders from the Western New York area and beyond.
The tournament is a true Deepstack Freezout, where players will begin with 100,000 chips and although registration is open until the start of Level 7, there is no reentry.
All levels are 30 minutes and blinds begin at the 300/600 level with antes kicking in during Level 3.
This is a single-day event sure to be filled with a ton of exciting poker action and PokerNews will endeavor to capture all the highlights as it plays out.
Get your popcorn ready, Seneca Niagara's 2016 Summer Slam $1,000 Deep Stack High Roller is coming at you right now.

Fill It Up
Level 1
: 300/600, 0 ante
As expected, it's a slow start half way through Level 1 with a steady stream of late-comers at the cage signing up.
The board is up to 28 entries and counting with registration open until the start of Level 7. As deep as they are to start, another 40-70 entries are expected to trickle in as the early levels move on.

Sammy Smith's Satty
Level 2
: 400/800, 0 ante
Sammy Smith booked entry into the event through a $145 satellite and with a $20,000 guarantee on the first-place prize, he's looking to run it up big time.
He picked off a fairly sizable bluff making top pair on an ace-high board to jump up to the top of the counts already and is off and running with the chip lead as Level 2 begins.

Parlatore On Top
Level 3
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Maria Parlatore has jumped into the early lead, effectively doubling up already after dragging a massive Level 2 pot without showdown.
She limped in under the gun, then joined four others in calling when one opponent made it 2,000 preflop. The 
flop checked to the original raiser and he continued for 2,000. Dave Lisacchi bumped it to 8,700 from the small blind and Parlatore raised to 20,000. Lisacchi made the call.
She called a 25,000-chip Lisacchi lead on the 
turn, then, when he checked the 
river, she pushed all in. Lisacchi let it go.
