The second of six starting flights for the The 2017 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam $125 No-Limit Hold'em Reentry event drew 75 entries inside the Niagara Falls Poker Room at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino Monday.
That makes 117 entries so far with four flights to come.
With 7:49 left in Level 13 they reached nine players remaining, representing 12 percent of the field, and play was halted.
Maurice Sessum built a lead as the night wore on and will bring a stack of 128,300 through to Thursday's Day 2. However, luck was on Steve Roberts' side throughout and he bagged almost as much, on 117,100. Plus, Keith Gray joins them in the six-figure stack club.
First flight leader John Abraham is still the leader in the clubhouse.
The third of six starting flights for the $125 No-Limit Hold'em Reentry event will go off at 10 a.m. local time Tuesday with three more set for the next two days. Keep it locked on PokerNews to follow all the action.
The 2017 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam tournament series continues this evening inside the Niagara Falls Poker Room at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino with the second of six starting flights for 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.
Despite the affordable buy-in, with six starting flights, this event is aiming to create 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.
Monday morning's first flight drew 42 entries with just six players surviving.
This second flight starts at 6 p.m. local time tonight. Rinse and repeat for the next couple of days with two flights a day at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
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.
