There's just 24 entries on the board right now, playing at five short-handed tables. The room should start to fill up fast, however, with a steady stream of late entries at the cage and yet another $145 satellite running now with three or four seats up for grabs.

A quick look around shows 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event Kurtis Boutelle is in the house. A quick word with Boutelle revealed he's in after winning his seat through one of those very same $145 satellites.

2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic prelim winner Kristan Mackiewicz is here early as well, after busting a late-reg bullet on Friday. Plus, a handful of Seneca regulars have trickled in.

The 2015 Western New York Poker Challenge $1,000 Main Event drew 183 entries last year, so we can set the over under there, despite the slow start.
