Welcome to Event #10 of the Western New York Poker Challenge!
Welcome back to our coverage of the 2014 Western New York Poker Challenge at the Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel in Niagara Falls, New York! Today the action is moving from the poker room up to the balcony of the casino, where players will compete in Event #10 of the 16-tournament series.
Thursday's event is a $300 no-limit hold'em tournament with re-entries available until the start of Level 5. Each player will receive 20,000 in chips and the blind levels will increase every 30 minutes. Today, for the first time ever, players 18-and-over will be permitted to play in an event held by the Seneca Poker Room. We'll keep any eye out for any youngsters who are competing in their first live tournament today.
Event #10 begins at 11 a.m., and the PokerNews Live Reporting team will be bringing you hand updates, photos, chip counts and more from the floor of the Seneca Poker Room. As always, PokerNews will be activating the My Stack app for today's event, allowing players to directly update their chip counts in the PokerNews blog using their iPhone or Android phone. You can even write up hand recaps yourself to update your family and friends of your progress.
The action will get underway shortly. See you then!
