Chris Meyers Wins the Seneca Fall Poker Classic $300 PLO

Top Local Rounder Chris "Jersey" Meyers took down the 2017 Seneca Fall Poker Classic $300 Pot Limit Omaha inside the Niagara Falls Poker Room at the Seneca Niagara Casino & Resort Thursday.

The event drew 64 entries creating a $16,112 prize pool. The top seven all got paid but the title, trophy, and $5,639 went to Meyers.

Matt Shanahan grabbed the lead before they got down to three tables and held on to it going into the final table of ten. However, Meyers was never far behind.

Tim Glab bubbled the money going out eighth, and as Dave Piano ($838) busted seventh, Sal Amico ($983) was eliminated in sixth, and Ray LaRouech ($1,225) went out fifth, Shanahan took a commanding lead.

Shanahan busted Josh Knight ($1,643) fourth to add to that lead, but things went downhill for him from there. He had beaten up on Dennis Felig all night, but doubled him up twice to become the shortest of the three. Then Shanahan went out third ($2,304) giving the last of his once mighty stack to Meyers.

They got just a few hands into heads-up play before getting it in. Meyers held with jacks against a pair and a double belly buster to eliminate Fleig second and end Fleig's run at back-to-back-to-back Seneca Niagara Pot Limit Omaha titles.

That's it for four-card poker from the Niagara Falls Poker Room. However, the Seneca Fall Poker Classic action continues with the first of two starting flights for the Main Event beginning at 11 a.m. Friday and PokerNews will be there. See you then.
