The Summer Slam $125 Reentry Event's Second Flight Starts Now!
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
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.

Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Maurice Sessum got almost the full double up, getting it in with jacks against Matt Miceli's eights for 9,400 each.
Miceli must have found a double early himself, because he's still got a starting stack in front of him, despite losing that hand to Sessum.
In the meantime, it appears Western New York's Tim Rentschler will take the chip lead into the first break of the day. He got Ronny D'Grillo to commit it all on a 
flop.
D'Grillo had sevens and eights, but Rentschler held the 
flopped straight.
"It's a great hand," Rentschler explained. "Either you hit or you don't."
He did and he now has almost three starting stacks.

Running Hot
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Carol Leonardi is running hot.
In fact, she made back-to-back full houses and has a stack here in Level 4. The first saw her get it in with two pair against James Miller's nut flush draw. The boat came on the river sending Miller to the cage to reenter.
The second happened when she called one player's all in shove with 
versus [axqcx]. Two kings on the flop would have been enought, but Leonardi filled up again by the time the hand was through.
