It's move up or move out of the way day at the 2017 Western New York Poker Challenge Main Event.
After two starting flights went off at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino Friday and Saturday, drawing 267 entries and creating a $235,681 prizepool, just 55 players return Sunday to play down to a final table.
The money starts at 27th place, and they should get through the bubble quickly before the chase for the big cash continues.
Niagara Falls, Canada's Matt Brunskole grabbed the overall lead after the second starting flight, but growing local legend Budwey Salhab is hot on his heels. Plus, a long list of local heroes stand within striking distance and WSOP bracelet winner Malcolm Malm has a top four stack.
Play will resume at 11 a.m. local time with plans to play down to the final nine and perhaps even beyond. Today, the levels increase to 60 minutes in length giving the field a little more wiggle room.
It should make for some exciting poker action and PokerNews' coverage will follow it all, from the call to shuffle up and deal until the last few players decide it's quitting time.
