On an overcast and rainy summer Sunday in Niagara Falls, 86 poker players will descend upon the Seneca Niagara Resort and Casino with dreams of capturing one of the most hotly contested poker titles in Western New York and the $59,248 first-place prize that comes with it.
The final day of the 2016 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam $600 Main Event kicks off at 11 a.m. local time and promises to be a dramatic one, as the survivors from two starting flights Friday and Saturday will combine for the first time, play past a 46-player money bubble, down to a final table, and ultimately until a 2016 Summer Slam champion is crowned.
After a massive hand in the late-going Friday that saw him flop quad queens and crack aces, Joseph Elia will come in with the chip lead, as the only player over 400,000.
Spicy $90 satellite qualifier Julie Billiteri has just below that much after she went from 20,000 to 396,000 in the last hour on Friday, and will come into play as hot as a local Buffalo chicken wing.
Day 1b leaders Tom Taylor and Bill Hardy are also within a few chips of Billiteri, while My Stack App user Sammy Iraci, Michigan's Linda Hackney, Michael Ferrer, David Paluch, and local legend Jason Nablo round out the group over 300,000 at this point. Local big game hunter Chris Meyers sits just below there.
There's also a host of Seneca Niagara regulars in the pack, sitting within striking distance, and with blinds starting at 2,000/4,000 with a 500 ante, 40 players off the money out of the gate today, there's a ton of poker to be played and it's anybody's title to win.
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand from the call to shuffle up and deal until the 2016 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam Main Event title is won, so just sit back and enjoy, all the final day action you can handle is coming at you, right here, right now.
