Guarantee Smashed

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

The board now reads 125 entries so far in this flight. Add that to the 95 entries from Friday and the $200,000 guarantee has been laid to waste.

It's all gravy from here. Plus, it looks like a steady stream of entries and reentries continue to line up at the cage as the 2017 Seneca Fall Poker Classic threatens to put up a big number.

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Tommy Tomasello
Tommy Tomasello

Cleveland, Ohio's Tommy Tomasello joins the leaders now, closing in on the 100,000-chip mark.

He picked up a big pot with pocket kings, then flopped trip nines with the {j-}{9-}. Things just kept getting better as Tomasello rivered quad nines dragging another sizeable pot on the way to 90,000 now.

My Stack App Run Good

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Tim Glab
Tim Glab

Tim Glab is off to try to satellite in for a second time today after getting it in good and running into Peter Raimondi and his My Stack App run good.

Players can use the My Stack App to update their own chip counts directly into the PokerNews Live Reporting blog using their iPhone or Android device. Then the magic happens. My Stack App users suddenly find the uncanny ability to run hotter than an Anchor Bar chicken wing.

The following is just one of many examples.

Raimondi made it 750 on the button. Glab flatted and Jason Clark joined them going three-ways to a {2-}{3-}{6-} flop with two spades. It checked to Raimondi and he continued for 1,200. Both players called.

The {5-Hearts} turned and it checked to Raimondi again. He bet 3,800, Glab jammed all in for 24,500 and Clark tank-folded.

Raimondi called with the {a-Spades}{q-Spades} flush draw, and even though Glab was already there holding the {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} straight, the {J-Spades} river came up all Raimondo making him a flush and proving the My Stack App run good is real.

Freerolling

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Ronald Ostroff
Ronald Ostroff

They're playing Jedi mind tricks over on Table 3 and it's working.

Ronald "Rio" Ostroff open-jammed aces heads-up on an {8-}{8-}{2-} flop and somehow got his opponent to call off 100 big blinds with two queens.

Aces held. Ostroff actually won a $145 qualifier seat spinning the wheel in a Hot Seat Promotion at the cash game tables inside the Niagara Falls Poker Room. He turned that into a seat in the Main Event and is on a 100 percent freeroll

2012 World Series of Poker bracelet winner Chris Tryba also took a page out of Ostroff's book, shoving for heaps with the {a-}{10-} on a ten-high board. His heads-up opponent called with an open-ender and whiffed, allowing Tryba to push up to 100,000 and among the leaders now.

The Flamingo

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Bruce "Any Two" Pace has moved into familiar position taking the chip lead into the day's first break.

In fact, he has a six-figure chip stack faster than anyone in Seneca history once again, tying his own record of three levels.

Can he hold onto it? Only time will tell.

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino
Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino

There's healthy 86 entries on the board now as Level 3 kicks off. Registration and reentry is available until the start of Level 11, which comes after a 45-minute dinner break. All signs point to this being a big day.

For those sweating the $200,000 guarantee, with the fees taken out they need 220 entries to get there. Adding the 86 in now to yesterday's 95-entry total gets them up to 181. The chances of any kind of overlay are more than slim, they're non existent, with crowds of regulars ready to fire away still rolling out of bed all across Western New York.
