Another 11 Through to Day 2; Hart Leads This Group
The third of six starting flights for this third event on the 2015 Seneca Fall Poker Classic schedule drew 63 entries at the Niagara Falls Poker Room inside the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino today.
From there, just 11 made it through to the final day of the $50,000 Guaranteed $100 No-Limit Hold'em event set for Thursday — Joining the 29 through from the first two flights Monday.
With 213 entries so far, the event isn't exactly on pace to meet the guarantee, but big numbers are expected in two more evening flights and one more during the day.
Mark Roberts grabbed the chip lead four-flushing in a huge three-way all in pot, before getting the better of John Stempien to crest the 100,000 mark. In the end, he bagged 147,000.
But it was Canadian Warren Hart who bagged the lead, playing in his second-ever tournament after the first ended with a 15th-place finish in Event #1 here. He ran hot both early and late to bag 161,000.
Kevork Garabedian is the only other player past the six figure mark, but Michelle Caldwell bagged close to it with 98,300.
With the first three flights now out of the way, the fourth goes off at 6 p.m. local time.
Tune in then as PokerNews will be on hand to capture all the action from start to finish.
