Nelson Providing the Chuckles

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante
Shane Nelson is all smiles early.
Shane Nelson is all smiles early.

According to Shane Nelson, he just scooped a pot in which an opponent bet 200 into at least five opponents after a {2-}{5-}{5-} flop. Nelson was the only caller, and by the river a {q-} and {10-} had completed the board. Nelson led out for 50, and his opponent raised to 500. Nelson said he snap-called, and his opponent was unable to beat his {j-}{4-} for jack-high.

It's not a line you're likely to see on a training video any time soon, but Nelson said his tablemates "got a chuckle out of it."

Welcome to Day 1b of Mid-States Poker Tour Running Aces Harness Park

Running Aces during less snowy times.
Running Aces during less snowy times.

Day 1b will kick off shortly here at Running Aces Harness Park for the $1,100 main event. Players are streaming in and the line is already as long as it was minutes before the start of the tournament yesterday, so we should be seeing a considerably bigger field. Furthermore, a tournament official told us that 66 qualified players had yet to use their entries, so it wouldn't be a surprise if the 128-player Day 1a flight was doubled here.

Players will grind their way through nine levels if they want to bag up a stack, and they're allowed one rebuy should they bust out. Yesterday's unfortunate fallen will be allowed the full two bullets as well.

Blinds begin at 25/50, and players start with 20,000 in chips. Breaks will be given after every two levels.

Be sure to check back regularly for all of the live updates here at PokerNews.
