Welcome to Day 2 of 2014 Mid-States Poker Tour Canterbury Park

Jay Melancon leads the 87 remaining players, but there's still a long way to go.
Jay Melancon leads the 87 remaining players, but there's still a long way to go.

We're a half hour away from the cards beginning to fly for Day 2 of Mid-States Poker Tour Canterbury Park, and Jay Melancon has pole position on his 86 rivals. Melancon's 266,400 is good for an ever-so-slight chip lead over Day 1a leader David Abramowicz, who bagged 259,500.

Melancon and Abramowicz will have plenty of tough competition as the players fight for a first-place prize of over $110,000. Jason Smith (176,200), Mike Schneider (148,900), Kou Vang (139,800), Adam Dahlin (116,100), Blake Bohn (111,400), Mark Sandness (98,800), Jovan Sudar (92,300), Lance Harris (78,300), and Nes Coburn (46,000) all lurk as significant threats to take home the bacon, with plenty of big-time experience among them.

We'll begin at Level 15, with the blinds at 1,500/3,000 with a 500 ante, and progress from there until we reach a final table of 10. At that point, we'll go on hiatus for an hour as players eat and recharge in preparation for the finale, which will be streamed live with hole cards right here on PokerNews. Don't go anywhere until then, because all of the live updates will be found right here.
