The 3rd Flight for Summer Slam's $50,000 Guaranteed $200 No-Limit Hold'em Starts Now!
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The 2016 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam continues this morning with the third 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 first two flights friday have already drawn 258, putting the event well on its way to obliterating the guarantee.
A total of 42 players are already through to Day 2 Sunday, where the survivors of all four flights will combine and play down to a winner.
Adam Foster (188,400) is still the leader in the clubhouse.
The fourth and final starting flight will also go off at 6 p.m. Saturday.
Stay tuned to PokerNews as the 2016 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam continues.

Deskovich On Fire
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Local grinder Josh Deskovich has jumped out to the early lead after a blazing hot first level.
It was the 
over the 
that really got things going for Deskovich, as he made flush over flush to stack an opponent. Picking up kings and aces didn't hurt either, and he's on top of the leaderboard now.

Better To Be Lucky
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Toronto, Ontario, Canada's Alex Avdelopoulos has joined the early leaders now.
His hot start has included a number of pots won without having to go to showdown.
"I've just been getting lucky," he told PokerNews. Not sure where Avdelopoulos stands on the issue, but the old adage is it's better to be lucky than good.
