Welcome to Day 2 of Mid-States Poker Tour Canterbury Park
The stage is set and the players are arriving at Canterbury Park here in Shakopee, Minn., for Day 2 of Mid-States Poker Tour Canterbury Park. Rodney Colson has pole position with 385,500 as the day is set to begin to lead the 93 contenders who have advanced from their respective Day 1s.
Nick Pupillo, Derek Crooks, Ken Pates, Peixin Liu, Judd Greenagel, Kou Vang, Matt Kirby, Jon Hanner, Jeremy Dresch, Jeff Fielder, and Matt Alexander are just some of the players whose names pop out when looking over the list of runners looking to overtake Colson and ultimately end up with all of the chips. One of the players will do just that over the course of play today, which will end with a champion crowned.
Play will resume at Level 15 (1,500/3,000/500), with levels again lasting 40 minutes until the final table, at which point they will go to one hour apiece. The final day of the MSPT season is set to begin at 10:30 a.m., so don't go anywhere.
