30 Survive The Third Of Four Flights

The 2017 Western New York Poker Challenge continued this afternoon with the third of four flights in the $100,000 guaranteed $300 No Limit Hold'em Event #1.

The flight drew 201 entries, putting the total up to 468 and surpassing the guarantee with one more starting flight still to come this evening.

By the time 14 levels of play were through in the second flight, just 30 survived with Mark Allott leading the pack. Three players bagged 200,000 or more in what was an action packed heat.

All the surviving players will return to play down to a winner on Sunday nearing the money bubble. After three flights, the total going through to Sunday is now 72 and counting.

However, Event #1 on the WNYPC schedules continues tonight with the final starting flight beginning at 6 p.m. local time.
