2014 Western New York Poker Challenge
Level: 1
Blinds: 25/50
Ante:
Event #3 of the 2014 Western New York Poker Challenge has begun. Many of the tables are playing four- or five-handed to start, but we're expecting a lot of players to filter before registration closes in two hours.
We've reached the third day of coverage here at the 2014 Western New York Poker Challenge in Niagara Falls, New York. Sunday's event is a $300 no-limit hold'em event 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.
Last night, Joseph Elia took down Event #2: $500 No-Limit Hold'em for $14,364 after besting a field of 112 entries. The final table included three of our Players to Watch for this series: Jason Nablo (5th place), Randy Pfeifer (3rd place) and Rick Block (2nd place). It marked the second final table in as many days for Nablo, and he told us he'll return on Sunday to try to make it three in a row.
Event #3 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. We will also be activating the MyStack App for this 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 gets underway in less than an hour. See you then!
