The 2016 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam $50,000 Guaranteed Event #2 $200 No-Limit Hold'em Starts Now!
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The 2016 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam continues today with the first of four starting flights in The $50,000 Guaranteed Event #2 $200 No-Limit Hold'em beginning at 10 a.m. local time in Niagara Falls.
The event allows for registration and unlimited reentry up until the start of Level 9. Plus, players can do the same for any and all subsequent flights even if they bag up, carrying their best stack forward to Day 2 Sunday where the field will play down to a winner.
Players will begin with 15,000-chip stacks and the levels will be 30 minutes in length. Each starting flight will play the first 14 levels or until 12 percent of the field remains.
The Niagara Falls Poker Room has a long history of smashing the guarantee in these multi-starting-flight unlimited-reentry events and this one should be no different as the best players from the Western New York area and beyond are expected to turn up in droves over the next two days. The second starting flight goes off at 6 p.m. Friday evening and there are two more flights Saturday.
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand from start to finish and you can follow all the action right here in this space.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
There's a new sheriff in town and his name is Scott Aitchison.
The Niagara Falls Poker Room vet refused to be bluffed off second pair moments ago, allowing one eager opponent to empty the clip against him.
The result was another notch in the Aitchison belt as he busted the bluffer and earned a spot at the top of the Level 2 chip counts.
"Broke is what happens when a cowboy lets his yearnin's get ahead of his earnin's," Sheriff Aitchison may or may not have said following the hand.
