The second of four starting flights in the 2016 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam Event #2: $200 No-Limit Hold'em with a $50,000 guarantee drew 152 entries Friday evening.
That brought the total to 258 so far, putting the event well on its way to obliterating the guarantee, with two flights still to come.
By the time 14 levels of play were through, a total of 24 players pushed through to Day 2 Sunday, where the survivors of all four flights, including 18 from the first one, will combine and play down to a winner.
Kaveh Tehrani (173,500) bagged the chip lead after a strong finish that saw him win a huge pot after getting it all in preflop with big slick versus nines and flushing out on the river in the day's final level. Steve Pisa (167,100), and Frank Gentile (156,700) also bagged big.
Day 1a chip boss Adam Foster (188,400) was still the leader in the clubhouse.
The third starting flight goes off at 10 a.m. Saturday morning and there is a fourth set for 6 p.m. local time as well. Stay tuned to PokerNews as the 2016 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam continues.

Multiple Seneca Niagara title holder Rick Block is on his third bullet and apparently his third vodka tonic in tonight's flight.
Things appear to be working out just fine this time around, however, as he continues to tangle with a bevvy of local legends at his table.
He busted Andy Spears with 
over 
, won't allow Dan Wagner to get in a pot without getting involved and is pushing Jason Nablo around like a schoolyard bully. Block's climbed all the way up to 89,000 now, and should he hold on to it and bag up, he will have at least one day to recover from the shenanigans before the serious business of Sunday's Day 2 begins.
