Welcome to our Day 3 coverage of the 2014 Seneca Niagara Fall Poker Classic $1,000 Main Event! Over the past three days inside the Seneca Niagara Hotel & Casino Events center, a field of 263 entrants was trimmed down to nine. The conclusion of the tournament will take place today inside the poker room, where each of the nine players will play for the trophy and a top prize of $57,736.
Leading the way entering the final table is Rick Block, a former champ here at the Seneca Fall Poker Classic who is looking to add a Main Event title to his resume. Block's biggest career win came last year in a World Series of Poker Circuit event in Atlantic City for $28,000. He could double that with a victory today.
Block has more than double the amount of chips of anyone else at the final table. His next closest competitors are Anthony Sgroi and Dave Grana, both of whom fell just short of 1 million when they bagged up Sunday night. Also at the final table is 19-year-old young gun Veerab Zakarian, who had to drive back to Toronto last night, take a school exam this morning at 8 a.m. and drive back to Niagara Falls for the final table.
Today's action resumes at noon ET with 13 minutes remaining in Level 24. The blind levels will remain 60 minutes until Level 31, at which point they will be increased to 90 minutes.
