The 2016 Western New York Poker Challenge Main Event drew 103 entries for its first of two starting flights at the Seneca Niagara Casino on Friday.
This marked the first time a Western New York Poker Challenge Main Event Day 1a had drawn over 100, and after 15 levels of play, exactly 20 players survived through to Sunday's Day 2.
Greg Miller built a huge chip lead in the day's 11th level after a hot run of cards and at least one gift, cruising towards bagging a 291,500-chip stack when it was all said and done.
