Amandeep Leads Day 1b in Seneca Fall Poker Classic, Wagner Still In

The second flight of the Seneca Fall Poker Classic 2018 $1,000 Main Event drew a total of 75 entries at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino. At the end of 15 levels, it was Taheem "AJ" Amandeep who would bag the biggest stack with an outstanding 439,000 in chips.

Amandeep emerged as one of the front-runners to finish at the top just a few levels into play. He slowly built up his stack, but when Day 1b reached the final four tables, a heater began. He could not miss with any of his pocket pairs, flopping a monster every time - somehow managing to always get max value from his opponents.

"Tell Barry [Kruger] that I am coming for him on Day 2!"

The player nipping at the heels of Amandeep is Canadian Jason James, bringing an impressive 403,000 chips with him to Day 2. James was out for revenge on Day 1b, after exiting Day 1a in fifth, just shy of the top three that moved on. After bagging, he said, "Tell Barry [Kruger] that I am coming for him on Day 2!"

Some other notable stacks to round at the top six from this flight are Chris Meyers (261,000), Raymond Book (258,000), Tim Yance (219,500), and well-known Canadian grinder Veerab Zakarian (130,500). Book had almost 400,000 and was looking like a contender to finish at the top before making a big fold against Meyers during the final hands of the day, giving Meyers around 100,000 in the process and pushing himself down to just over a quarter of a million in chips.

Another big player still in contention is 2016 Fall Poker Classic champion Dan Wagner (lead photo). The West Seneca native will be going into Day 2 with 108,000 in chips and all the experience needed to fight back and grab himself another title. Look for Wagner to make some moves early as he attempts to add another cash to his already stacked resume.

Some notable players to finish just shy of making the Day 2 include Henry Zou, 2017 Fall Poker Classic champion Guy Klass, Seneca regular Matt Marcinkiewicz, Joseph [Removed:340], and well-known pro Andy Spears.

The final flight will be starting at 11 a.m. on Saturday the 17th. All players can join, including those who were eliminated during the first two flights and those who want to try for a larger stack than they bagged already.
