The last of six starting flights for the The 2017 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam $125 No-Limit Hold'em Reentry event drew 133 entries inside the Niagara Falls Poker Room at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino Wednesday.
That made it 456 entries total, creating a guarantee-smashing $43,320 prizepool that will pay the top 45 finishers.
Although it's not official yet, it looks like the first-place prize will be $10,320.
With 17:03 left in Level 13 they reached 16 players remaining, representing 12 percent of the field, and play was halted. That means a total of 58 players will return to contest Day 2 Thursday.
Play will resume at 12 p.m. local time and begin with just about 10 minutes left in Level 11, the earliest stopping time recorded in six flights.
David Battaglia turned kings into the nut flush in a more than 150,000-chip pot to grab the flight chip lead. However, even Seneca's most consitent will be looking up at clubhouse leader and local legend Jason Nablo when play resumes Thursday.
Once again, Day 2 goes off at 12 p.m. and the money bubble should burst rather quickly. They will ultimately play down to a winner with some big money up top so keep it locked on PokerNews to follow all the action.
The 2017 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam tournament series continues Wednesday evening inside the Niagara Falls Poker Room at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino with the sixth and final starting flight 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 prizepool has already reached the $30,000 mark, so it's just a matter of how big it can get over this last flight.
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. Plus, even those who bag chips in one flight can take a final shot here in an effort to put away even more. They will carry the best stack forward.
Players 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 323 entries and 42 players have survived.
This final flight starts at 6 p.m. local time today and this is the last chance to get in.
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.
