$1,000 Main Event
Day 1c Started
The third and final flight of the Fall Poker Classic 2018 $1,000 Main Event is set to begin at 11 a.m. at the Seneca Niagara Casino & Resort.
There was a total of 96 entries gathered between the first two flights of the tournament, accumulating $68,250 towards the $200,000 Guaranteed prize pool.
The final flight will surely surpass the amount of slips needed to be sold in order to meet the guarantee, with many new and returning players battling it out in what is their last chance to qualify for the final day on the 18th.
Players will start the tournament with 30,000 chips and the blinds will increase after every 40 minutes of play. Late Registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 11, with each Day 1 flight playing 15 levels or until the field is reduced to 12%. Players may play in all three of the flights, but only their largest stack will carry over to the final day of the tournament.
The player who will ultimately take down the Seneca Fall Poker Classic will be on the cover of CardPlayer Magazine and join the likes of Guy Klass (2017), Dan Wagner (2016), Kurtis Boutelle (2015), and Rick Block (2014).
