The 2015 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam continued at the Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel poker room today with the third of four starting flights for Event #1, a $200 buy-in no-limit hold'em tournament featuring 30-minute levels, 15,000-chip starting stacks, and a $50,000 guarantee.
This third flight was the biggest so far, drawing a total of 175 entries, but just 33 players survived through 14 levels of play. Blake Napierala grabbed the chip lead after a solid day of play that saw him build a big stack turning 
into a boat, then using it to apply pressure to shorter stacks for the rest of the afternoon. In the end, he bagged a little over 200,000 becoming only the second player headed to Day 2 to manage that so far.
All 33 players will return for Day 2 Sunday at 11 a.m. local time to play down to a champion. They will be joined by the 34 survivors from Friday's first two starting flights and anyone who makes it through 14 levels of play from one more that began at 6 p.m. local time this evening.
PokerNews' Live Coverage of this event will continue with the fourth and final starting flight now halfway through Level 3.
