One of the hottest players in the Western New York poker scene over the past two years will look to go wire-to-wire in the final six and win his second Seneca Niagara major when the third and final day of the 2016 Western New York Poker Challenge Main Event goes off inside the Niagara Falls Poker Room beginning at 12 p.m. local time today.
Alden, NY's Rick Block will bring his championship pedigree, having won the 2014 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event, and the chip lead, into the $1,000 buy-in event's final day today. But closing this one out will be no easy feat.
Dan Wagner, whose career best score was the $109,114 he earned finishing runner-up in the $1,100 event at the 2015 Fallsview Poker Classic on the other side of the falls last year, is trailing by just a few chips, and this end-game boss will not go away quietly.
Plus, although they trail, the rest of the final six, including Ray LaRouech, Charles Johnson, Joseph Reichenbacher, and Newton Graziano, are still stacked deep enough to do some damage.
Each of these players will come into play guaranteed at least the $9,907 reserved for sixth, but five-figure scores await each of the final five, and along with Seneca Niagara poker glory, there's a hefty $52,768 up top.
PokerNews will be on the scene from the call to shuffle up and deal until the 2016 Western New York Poker Challenge Main Event champion is crowned and you are welcome to follow all the action right here in this space.
