The first of two Day 1 starting flights for the 2015 Seneca Niagara Summer Slam Main Event drew 195 entries to the Niagara Falls Poker Room at Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel on Friday.
It's a number that put the $600 buy-in event well on it's way to exceeding the $150,000 guarantee with a second flight set for Saturday at 11 a.m. That second flight is expected to be even bigger, so if you're in the area there's still time to get in on the action.
