It's big time poker, Western New York style, as the second and final Day 1 starting flight for the $200,000 Guaranteed 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic $1,000 Main Event kicks off this morning.
The first flight drew a total of 82 entries with just 13 players making it through to Sunday's Day 2. Counting dozens of satellite winners and local rounders with fat bankrolls from the prelims, staff at the Niagara Falls Poker Room are expecting this flight to be almost twice as big, setting the over-under at 150.
Add in the facts the top players from across Western New York and beyond always turn out in droves for a shot at a big score and since its on the balcony, the event is open to anyone 18 and up, and the over isn't a bad bet.
Friday's flight had a very familiar feel to it, with 2015 Western NY Poker Challenge Main Event and 2014 Summer Slam Main Event winner Buck Ramsay running like a god on the way to bagging a massive 461,500-chip stack. Plus, 2014 Seneca Niagara Poker Classic champ Rick Block earned the spot just underneath Ramsay on the leader board in defense of his title.
Today players will try to match those performances, starting with 30,000 in chips and the need to survive through 15 40-minute levels. There is a 45-minute dinner break following Level 10 and registration and unlimited re-entry is available until it is over.
Even those bagging chips last night can try again on this second starting flight, taking their best stack forward to Sunday's Day 2 where the levels increase to 50 minutes and the final table will be set. They will play down to champion Monday inside the poker room playing 60-minute levels.
PokerNews will be on hand throughout bringing you live coverage, so sit back and enjoy what promises to be an action-packed day from the balcony inside the Seneca Resort & Casino beginning at 11 a.m.
