After six starting flights spanning three days at the Seneca Poker Room, we have reached Day 2 of the Seneca Niagara Summer Slam $50,000 Guaranteed Event. The $125 no-limit hold'em tournament attracted 765 entries, creating a prize pool of more than $71,000 which easily surpassed the $50K prize pool. Today's winner will go home with the trophy and $15,821.
A total of 149 entries advanced to Day 2 but four of those players bagged chips twice and are forced to surrender their shortest stack, leaving us with 145 when play begins today at noon ET. Lam Ngo took the chip lead in Flight A with 234,300 and nobody was able to catch him. Others taking big stacks into Day 2 are Jack Vaccarello, John Stempien, Paul McLean and Sonny Rattan, who doubled on the final hand Wednesday night to lead the Flight F field.
More than half of today's field will still go home empty-handed as only the top 72 places will be paid. With several short stacks going into the day we're expecting the action to move quickly in order to wrap this event up tonight.
Play will resume in Level 13 with the blinds at 1,200/2,400/300. We will be on the floor from start to finish today so follow this space for live updates from Event #5!
