Can't Please 'Em All
Level 8
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
There's been a lull in the play here midway through the level, and the most action-packed exchanges are those between Mid-States Poker Tour owner Bryan Mileski and a player. The two are bantering about the pros and cons of the structure of the tournament, and the player wanted an explanation of the lack of a 500/1,000 level. He also didn't seem pleased with the short turnaround from Day 1b to Day 2.
"Everyone wants more levels, but nobody wants to start at 9," Mileski said.

Gumila: 
Burrows: 
We had a race on our hands, but Burrows flopped a crucial pair on the 
flop to pull way ahead. The 
was a blank, and a river wasn't the paint Gumila needed.
