The second event on the 2015 Western New York Poker Challenge schedule will kick off just minutes from now.
The annual series runs through March 15th with eight major events culminating in the $200,000 Guaranteed $1,000 Main Event and Event #2, a $500 No Limit Hold'em tournament, begins at 11 a.m. this morning.
This event will feature 30-minute levels and 30,000-chip starting stacks. Registration is open until the start of Level 5 and there is unlimited re-entries for the first 8 levels.
The tournament is scheduled for one day and will play down to a winner today.
In 2014, Joseph Elia won the second event on the Western New York Poker Challenge schedule besting a field of 112 entries to claim the $14,364 first-place prize.
A similar size field is expected today as the Western New York area's top rounders flock to the Seneca Niagara Casino in the shadow of Niagara Falls.
As always, the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on the floor providing coverage of all the action from start to finish.
