The Fifth Starting Flight For Summer Slam's $125 Reentry Starts Now!

[user127999]

The 2017 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam tournament series continues Wednesday morning inside the Niagara Falls Poker Room at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino with the fifth of six starting flights for the $125 No-Limit Hold'em Reentry event.

This is what poker is about. It's fun, and it's a great opportunity to win a lot for just a little.

With six starting flights, this event will create a big prizepool and it's only $125 to get in. In fact, the $25,000 guarantee has been just about met, so it's just a matter of how big it can get over the last two flights.

Everyone from Western New York's finest tournament players to tourists coming to see the Falls can take a shot, multiple shots if they so choose. In fact, registration and unlimited reentry is available through to the start of Level 9 in each flight. Plus, even those who bag chips in one flight can take a shot at another one in an effort to put away even more. They will carry the best stack forward.

Players in each flight will start 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.

So far there have been 247 entries and 32 players have survived.

This fifth flight starts at 10 a.m. local time today and there is another final one at 6 p.m. this evening.

It should be tons of fun from start to finish with plenty of poker action and you're welcome to follow along with it all right here on PokerNews.

He's On Fire!

[user127999]

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Bill Lewandowski has exploded into flames and is burning all those who dare touch him.

He made a set of threes to send Peter Raimondi to the cage with big slick on an ace-high flop. Then he made the nut straight against against Al Bianco's top two pair to force him to reenter as well.

It's only the third level of the day and Lewandowski has 65,000 already, making him the fastest there in five flights.

In fact, Lewandowski is busting people out as fast as they can fill the seats at Table 5 and running away with the flight moving towards the day's first break.

Bill Lewandowski	65,000 40,000	40,000
Al Bianco	10,000 10,000	10,000
