Hello and welcome to PokerNews' live coverage of the 2014 Western New York Poker Challenge in Niagara Falls, New York! For the next 10 days the Seneca Poker Room will play host to the annual series, and we'll be on the floor providing up-to-the-minute reports from seven of the 16 events on the schedule.
The WNY Poker Challenge begins this morning at 11 a.m. with Event #1, a $200 no-limit hold'em event. Each player will receive 15,000 in chips and the blind levels will increase every 30 minutes. Re-entry will be available for the first four levels. The one-day tournament will end when a champion is crowned later this evening.
Along with live reporting, PokerNews will also be activating the MyStack App, allowing players to directly update their chip counts in the PokerNews blog using their iPhone or Android phone. We'll have more information about how to use My Stack once the action gets underway.
We'll be getting started here shortly.
