Level 13
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Jason Nablo turned up late but went straight to work.
He took one opponent's 60,000 stack getting him in with a combo draw against top-top and hitting the straight on the river. He four-bet ripped queens and forced a fold soon after to show a little big stack muscle.
He's got a focused look, his lead is big, and its only getting bigger as the Nablo show continues.
In the meantime, Alicia LaPorte Pachla got kings cracked to become one of the unlucky 13. There's 51 left and the money bubble is fast approaching.

Veerab Zakarian was just hoping upon hope he could min-cash in this event. Unfortunately, that dream is now dead.
The young wizard ran 
into Andrew Puhacz' quad queens, a trap even he couldn't conjure a way out of. For Zakarian, it's back to 24-tabling 'Big O' on some European online poker site where they play for Bitcoin.
Here, they are 10 left until the money with 55 on the board.

Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Steve Roberts put his tournament life and close to 60,000 on the line, shoving all in with a king-high flush draw and a gutterball.
Ken Schutz called with the nut-flush draw and was ahead with ace-high. However, the turn made Roberts the straight.
They've now switched spots on the leaderboard and since someone else busted across the room, the field has been whittled to 57.

Prizepool information has been updated on the site. Check the Payouts Tab above for details.
It all comes down to this.
After six starting flights for the 2017 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam $125 No-Limit Hold'em Reentry event drew 456 entries over the past three days, they will play down to a winner inside the Niagara Falls Poker Room at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino Thursday.
The 58 survivors from those flights will battle for pieces of a massive $43,320 prizepool. The top 45 finishers will get paid, and while an unlucky 13 will miss out on a payday, the rest will continue to fight for an estimated first-place prize of $10,320. No matter how you slice it, there's an opportunity for a huge return on investment in this $125 event.
Prizepool and payout details will be updated before play begins.
The top half of the chip counts is filled with some of the best local players in Western New York and local legend Jason Nablo leads them all. However, Seneca's most consistent star David Battaglia, 'Poker Queen' Maria Parlatore and psychological warfare expert 'Big Lucky' John Abraham are stacked and within striking distance.
Plus, each and every player who pushed through the starting flights are running good and capable of big things.
Since that's where the shortest flight ended, play will resume with ten minutes left in Level 11 and blinds at 800/1600. However, the price of poker will be going up fast and they should reach the money bubble relatively quickly as a result.
Play will begin at 12 p.m. local time and the action should be hot all day. Stay tuned to find out who can outwit, outlast, and outplay the rest to become the 2017 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam $125 No-Limit Hold'em Reentry champion.
