The first of two starting flights for the 2016 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam $100,000 Guaranteed $600 Main Event will kick off at 11 a.m. local time on Friday, just blocks from the Falls.
Last year Toronto, Canada's William Liang crossed the bridge, took down the title and a $61,535 first-place prize, getting the best of a 504-entry field that absolutely crushed the event's guarantee.
Weeks of satellite qualifiers and another eight days of prelims leading up to this Main Event should ensure the guarantee is exceeded again this summer, as the popularity of poker continues to grow in the Western New York area and beyond.
Players will start the event with 30,000-chip stacks and plans to play through 15 levels of 40-minutes each. Registration and unlimited reentry is available until the start of Level 11, and players will get another kick at the can tomorrow, even if they bag up chips tonight, carrying their best stack forward to the final day Sunday.
There will be a 45-minute dinner break at the end of Level 10, where the registration and reentry period remains open. The $600 price-point should make for a ton of action and plenty of reentries.
As always, the area's best and brightest are expected turn up for this one, and PokerNews will be on hand to catch all the ups and downs. Strap in, the 2016 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam $100,000 Guaranteed $600 Main Event starts now.
