![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
The fourth and final starting flight for the $100,000 guaranteed 2017 Seneca Fall Poker Classic $300 No Limit Hold'em drew another 192 entries inside the Niagara Falls Poker Room at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino this evening.
That brought the total from all four flights to 636 entries, creating a $160,113 prize pool that will pay the top 63 finishers. A min-cash is worth $576 and there's a hefty $36,024 and Seneca Fall Poker Classic glory awaiting the winner. Plus, the top four players will all book five-figure scores.
This fourth flight saw another 32 survive, meaning 107 players are going through to Sunday's Day 2 where all that money awaits.
Canadian Eric Thibodeau bagged the end-of-flight lead. He'll take 305,700 with him to Day 2 where everyone will be looking up at fellow Canada Alex Avdelopoulos from the first flight. He still holds a massive chip lead sitting on 440,000.
The flights are done, but the real fight for the money, the final table and the title is still ahead.
Survivors from all four flights will get back at it Sunday at 12 p.m. local time and PokerNews will be here, from the moment the first cards hit the air, until a winner is crowned. Stay tuned.
