According to Mid-States Poker Tour owner Bryan Mileski, the 182-player turnout today is a record for a Day 1a at Meskwaki for the tour, besting the number posted in April en route to a 389-player field that set an Iowa record for a major (buy in greater than $1,000) tournament. Accordingly, that record may be in jeopardy, as Mileski said the tour has gotten more than 200 for the last few Day 1bs here.
Players are on a 10-minute break, the final one of the night.

A player at the outermost table in the room was down to his last 100, and he got all in four straight times, winning each one to get up to 15,000. He shoved for a fifth consecutive hand, and Ralph Massey dropped in what looked like 35,000 to isolate him, folding out everyone else.
Massey: 
Opponent: 
The player had picked up ace-king, but he needed help against Massey's queens.
"This one, I've gotta win," Massey said confidently as the flop came 
.
"I've gotta put an end to it," Massey continued as the 
fell. "Good game."
His words proved true as a 
river was no help to Massey's opponent.
