Day 1a of the Summer Slam $125 No-Limit Hold'em Reentry Starts Now!
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The 2017 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam tournament series continues today inside the Niagara Falls Poker Room at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino with the $125 No-Limit Hold'em Reentry event.
It's about poker. It's about fun, and it's about an opportunity to win a lot for just a little.
This $125 buy-in event has six starting flights over the next three days, so despite the affordable buy-in, it's aimed at creating a big prizepool. In fact, it's guaranteed to be at least $25,000, but if past incarnations of these types of events are any indication, it should get almost double that.
Everyone from top local rounders to bingo players getting off the shuttle bus can take a shot, multiple shots if they so choose. In fact, unlimited registration and reentry is available through the start of Level 9 in each flight and even those who bag one flight can take a shot at another one in an effort to bag even more. They will carry the best stack forward.
Each flight will start players off with 10,000 in chips and play 14 full 30-minute levels or until 12 percent of the entries remain. Those who survive will push through to Day 2 Thursday where the big money awaits.
The first flight starts at 10 a.m. local time and there's another at 6 p.m. tonight. Rinse and repeat for the next couple of days.
It should be a wild ride from start to finish with plenty of poker action and you're welcome to follow along with it all right here on PokerNews.

Monday Morning
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
As expected, this flight starts slowly with just 23 entries on the board so far. It is, after all, a Monday morning.
There are a few recognizable regulars are in the mix already and little doubt more are on the way.

Trieu Player For Real
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Kim Long Trieu didn't get all of Brad Becker's chips when he made trip aces. However, he did get most of them, including getting a 3,200 value bet on the river paid.
Becker dusted off the rest soon after and hit the cage to reenter as Trieu ascended into the very early chip lead.

A Little From Here, A Little From There
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
It's been a little of this and a little of that for Seneca tourney standout Brian Bowen so far today. Taking a little from here and a little from there, he's managed to double his stack in the early levels.
The highlights included picking up jacks and allowing overzealous Canadian Cameron Bartolotta to bluff off some chips with ace high.
Of course, these two have some history from the final table of the 2016 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event, so even though there were overcards on the board, Bowen could see Bartolotta coming from a mile away.
