The fourth and final starting flight in the 2016 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam Event #2: $200 No-Limit Hold'em with a $50,000 guarantee drew 160 entries Saturday evening.

That brought the grand total to 562 entries, obliterating the guarantee and creating a $92,378 prize pool that will pay 54 spots, with $21,246 awaiting the winner.

By the time 14 levels of play were through in the last flight, a total of 27 players pushed through to Day 2 Sunday. That's where the survivors of all four flights will play to a winner, including 64 from the first two, minus one player who bagged twice taking his best stack forward, for a total of 90 players returning.

Matt Devins (184,200) bagged the flight lead after a solid day. Sam DeSabio (174,300), Thomas Mader (166,000), and Hayden Glassman (159,400) also bagged big.

After another wildly swingy day, Bruce Pace (134,800) also bagged six figures. Day 1c leader Steven Chepurny (219,000) will be on top coming into Day 2 as the only player over 200,000.

The event's final day will play out beginning at 11 a.m. local time Sunday with the money bubble expected to burst rather quickly.

Stay tuned to PokerNews as the 2016 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam Event #2: $200 No-Limit Hold'em will crown a champion on Sunday and our Live Reporting Team will be here to cover it all.

Pace Finds A Way

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Bruce Pace tried to give it away, getting it in for heaps with the {4-Spades}{8-Hearts} versus {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} on a {2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board to the turn.

However, the {8-Diamonds} river saved the day for him, making him two pair to bust yet another unlucky opponent. It now looks as though he will bag the lead with just seven hands to play before play wraps up.

Colossal Bluff Goes Right

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

2016 WSOP Colossus II 10th-place finisher Hayden Glassman jammed {a-}{5-} for 60,000 and Jeffery Hobrecker called with two sixes.

"Oops," said Glassman, before hitting a five on the flop and an ace on the turn to double through.

The Wild Bunch

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

31 players enter the final level of the night with a tight bunch at the top of the counts.

Thomas Mader has the slight chip lead, but it's anybody's ball game at this point with 10,000 chips separating the top five.

They will keep going until 10 minutes remain in the level, and then play an as-of-yet undermined number of hands before the survivors bag up for Day 2 Sunday.

Hobrecker Lasts Longer

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Jeffery Hobrecker
Jeffery Hobrecker

Local cash-game stud Jeffery Hobrecker won the last longer he made with a number of big game Seneca regs tonight.

Now he's making a run at bagging big, having picked up a massive pot flopping two pair nines and eights and holding against a player firing away with a gutshot that never got there.

Can You Stand The Pace?

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Bruce Pace
Bruce Pace

Bruce Pace is a legend around these parts for all the wrong reasons. He's notorious for building massive stacks early in Seneca Niagara tournaments and dusting them off late.

After the usual hot start looked like it was turning into the notorious late dip, Pace has righted the ship here, and will head into the last two levels of the night with 200,000 in chips and the lead. But the reputation that precedes him means he's as likely to bag the overall four-flight lead as he is to not bag at all.

Stay tuned to the last two levels of the night in this final flight to see what Pace, and the rest of the 40 players remaining, will do.
