A 33-year-old Grocery Manager at Tops Friendly Markets, playing in his first ever live Pot-Limit Omaha tournament, won the 2016 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam $300 Pot-Limit Omaha event on Thursday night.

Albion, NY's Geoff Saxton defeated a field of 77 entries to earn a $5,356 first-place prize after a three-way chop with Ray LaRouech and eventual runner-up Evan Shaughnessy left $1,356 and the title to play for.

The event smashed it's $15,000 Guarantee, creating a $19,385 prize pool that paid the top eight finishers. Play was fast and loose up until the final table bubble when things tightened up considerably.

Abe Reinhardt bubbled the money and Shaughnessy was steamrolling the final table at that point, potting liberally and taking advantage of the tight play to build a considerable lead.

Domenic Olivo busted eighth, Mark Roberts seventh, and [Removed:300] sixth, with Shaughnessy still rolling, until he ran into Saxton. They got it in on a ten-high flop with Shaughnessy holding queens and Saxton on ace-queen with a gutshot. Sure enough, the gutshot hit, and Shaughnessy's time at the top was over.

Michael O'Hallaran's tournament ended with a fifth-place finish, and Elvis Palmeri busted fourth before things evened out a bit three-handed and the deal was struck.

A three-way all-in pot soon after put Shaughnessy back in front, and after LaRouech busted third, he took a 2:1 lead heads up. Saxton ramped up the aggression at that point, and snatched the lead back, before a massive set-over-set cooler ended it all.

With that, the $300 Pot-Limit Hold'em event ended with Saxton on top, but PokerNews' coverage of the 2016 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam continues Friday with the first of two starting flights in the $600 Main Event beginning at 11 a.m. local time.
