Summer Slam Starts Now!
In the shadow of the world famous Niagara Falls, the Seneca Niagara Casino is set to host the 2015 edition of Summer Slam today.
The annual multi-event series will run through August 2 with three major events culminating in the $600 NLHE Main Event with a $150,000 guarantee and the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on the floor providing coverage of it all.
Things will get going at 11 a.m. with the first of four starting flights for Event #1, a $200 buy-in No Limit Hold'em tournament featuring 30-minute levels, 15,000-chip starting stacks and a $50,000 guarantee. Registration is open until the start of Level 9 and there is unlimited re-entries as well.
The 2014 edition of Summer Slam saw Scott Hosbach win the the first event on the schedule, a $200 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack Turbo tournament which attracted 108 entries and ended following a five-way chop.
The loyal local poker community should turn out in droves for the multi-entry event kicking things off this year and PokerNews promises keep you up to speed on all the action from start to finish.
