Seneca Summer Slam Heats Up Western New York July 24-Aug. 2
Less than two weeks after the summer festivities in Las Vegas come to a close, the poker action will heat right back up in Western New York for the 2015 Summer Slam poker series to be held at Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel.
Complete with six feature events, the series will begin Friday, July 24, with a $200 no-limit hold'em opening event boasting a $50,000 guarantee. The series will run through Sunday, August 2.
On Friday, July 31, the fifth event of the schedule will kick off, and it's the biggest and baddest of them all — the Main Event. With a buy-in of $600, the Main Event comes with a $150,000 guarantee and two starting flights. In the Main Event, players have the option to play one or both of the starting days, and advancing players have the option to take their largest stack forward if they move on from both flights. There are unlimited entries until the start of Level 11, and players begin with 25,000 in tournament chips.
The PokerNews Live Reporting team will be on hand at Seneca for live coverage of the opening event, the $50,000 guarantee no-limit hold'em third event, and the Main Event, and you'll be able to follow along right here on these pages.
