Day 2 Of The 2015 MSPT Canterbury Park Main Event is Set To Start!
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The second and final day 2015 Mid-States Poker Tour Canterbury Park Main Event will kick off at 11 a.m. local time in Minnesota Sunday.
From 470 entries over two starting days in this final event on the MSPT Season Six schedule, a total of 93 still retain a shot at MSPT glory and the $116,103 first-place prize that comes with it.
The winner will be decided today, but first comes the fight for a spot inside the 45-player money bubble and the battle for seats at the final table.
MSPT Potawatomi fifth-place finisher Matt Vaughan will take the lead into that war.
He stands as the only player over the 300,000 mark right now, but there are a host of MSPT heroes within striking distance, including Minnesota Player of the Year Rob Wazwaz, MSPT Ho-Chunk Gaming Wisconsin Dells Main Event winner John Hayes, MSPT Meskwaki winner Rich Alsup, MSPT title holder and six-time final table participant Jeremy Dresch and Day 1a leader Yao Yin.
Plus, this early on, it's still anybody's tournament to win.
Play begins with the start of Level 15 and blinds at 1,500/3,000 with a 500 ante.
PokerNews will be on had for every flop, turn and river until a new 2015 Mid-States Poker Tour Canterbury Park Main Event champ is crowned and you are welcome to follow along right here, beginning at 11 a.m. local time.

Better To Be Lucky
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
A mad rush to the exits has begun already with short stacks shoving all over the floor. Some are getting lucky, and others not so much.
John Olson made it 7,500 and Rex Clinckscales pushed in behind him for 50,500. Olson called with the 
and was light years behind Clinkscales'

The 
flop kept kings ahead but the 
turn was a dream for Olson. He put Clinkscales to bed unlucky following the 
river.

Yao Leads!
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Day 1a chip boss Yao Yin has moved up to the top of the counts yet again.
He called a Paul Ratajczyk 9,000-chip open from the small blind and the big blind came along for the ride. Two checks on a 
flop saw Ratajczyk continue for 17,000 and only Yin called.
The turn brought the 
and checks from both, but Yin led 10,000 on the 
river. Ratajczyk called and mucked when Yin showed

With that hand Yin moved above 360,000 and firmly into the lead.

Alsup Avoids The Chop
