Classic Cooler All But Ends Play

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Paula Rasmussen got it all in versus Keith Gray with kings versus aces.

Aces held and she was left with a few hundred in chips. Somehow, she picked up two aces the very next hand and octupled up.

Rasmussen has 5,000 in chips and they should be going in again any minute now.

Rasmussen Relents, Play Halts

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Paula Rasmussen finally relented, getting it in with an ace. After Carol Leonardi isolated on an ace-high flop with two sevens, she turned a set.

Rasmussen vowed to run better in another flight, although how could she possibly run worse?

Play ends with nine players left. A recap and chip counts will follow.

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.

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.
