Idrovo Leads Final 86 (full)
Ritchie Idrovo leads the 86 Day 1a and Day 1b survivors who are set to buckle down and begin Day 2 here at 10 a.m. local time in Gary, Ind.
He won't have an easy time of it if he hopes to keep his lead, however, as plenty of well-known and dangerous players such as Kou Vang (187,400), Jason Smith (152,300), Jeremy Dresch (80,300), and Matt Kirby (72800) remain in contention with above average stacks. Notables with below average stacks include Matt Alexander (66,000), Patrick Steele (60,000), Tim Ebenhoeh Jr. (58,300), "Wild" Bill Romer (53,900), John Hayes (38,000), and Terry Ring (22,700).
Play will begin with blinds at 1,000/2,000 at Level 10 and will continue until the field is whittled down to a winner. The final table will be broadcast live with hole cards on a 15-minute delay right here on PokerNews, so be sure to tune in for the conclusion of the tournament and the crowning of an MSPT champion, who will claim first-place prize money and a bracelet.

Ebenhoeh Jr., Swart Hit the Rail
Level 10
: 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Tim Ebenhoeh Jr. shoved all in from under the gun for 6,800, and Ami Sharma reraised to 12,000 from the next spot. Action folded to Terry Ring on the button, who moved in for 13,900, and Sharma made the call after the blinds got out of the way.
Sharma: 
Ebenhoeh Jr.: 
Ring: 
"I don't like the look of those two live cards," Ring said, eyeing Ebenhoeh's holding.
Sure enough, the 
flop gave Ebenhoeh a huge lead, and he needed to dodge only running straight or flush cards or the last two aces. Unfortunately for him, the binked on the turn, and he bowed out when the 
finished out the hand.
At another table, Bruce "Hammer" Swart busted out.
