Alex Visbisky Leads The Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event After Day 1a

The first of two starting flights for the $1,000 buy-in 2016 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event drew 121 entries on the hotel balcony at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in Niagara Falls, NY on Friday.

They played through 15 total 40-minute levels, and when it was all said and done, 24 players pushed through to Sunday's second day.

Local star Alex Visbisky booked the overnight chip lead, as he has a habit of doing in the big events at Seneca.

Things started slowly all around, but midway through the day, Frank Monaco railed multiple Seneca Niagara title holder Buck Ramsay in a massive pot to take a big chip lead.
