Thanks to a tip on Twitter, we've been alerted that Kevin "Phwap" Boudreau is in attendance today, and we found him sitting at Table 14 in Seat 10.

He took down a recent pot when two players checked to a player in late position, who bet 2,000 on a board of {2-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. The big blind folded, and Boudreau called, seeing a {j-Clubs} turn. Boudreau's opponent checked behind this time, and Boudreau showed {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for queens up, a winner.

Welcome to Day 1c of Mid-States Poker Tour Golden Gates

Corey Zedo was among the leaders last night.

With two Day 1 flights complete and 63 players having punched tickets to Day 2, just one final chance remains to advance to the championship day. Day 1c will kick off at noon local time here in Black Hawk, Colo., amid a snowfall here in the mountains.

Last night, Matt Livingston and Corey Zedo each bagged over 300,000 to join Alex Greenblatt and Blake Bohn from Day 1a at the top of the chip counts, though everyone is well behind Bohn's 511,500. Others making it through Day 1b included Eric Maier (278,000), Ben Keeline (274,500), bracelet winner John Beauprez (251,500), and Michael Lech (232,000). Feared pro Kevin "1sickdisease" Eyster (161,500), two-time MSPT champ Jason Zarlenga (150,000), Steve Anderson (120,000), Mike Ross (107,000), and former Main Event runner-up Paul Wasicka (86,500) also survived the 15 levels.

Starting stacks will be 30,000 instead of the usual 20,000. Other than that, the normal Allen Kessler-approved blind structure will be in place, with 40-minute levels starting at 50/100. Fifteen levels are scheduled today, and players may reenter as many times as they wish. A strong turnout could push the total entries over 500, but the weather could be an impediment.
