Following the break, it was announced that two local players have been inducted into the Minnesota Poker Hall of Fame.
The 2015 inductees include Minneapolis' Jim Meehan, a 2003 World Series of Poker bracelet winner who boasts $1,410,092 in career tournament earnings and three other WSOP final table appearances.
The second inductee is none other than Savage, MN's Blake Bohn. An MSPT Pro, Bohn has two MSPT titles and ran deep in the 2015 WSOP Main Event this past summer finishing 23rd.
Bohn has $2,352,290 in career tournament earnings, remains in contention for MSPT Player of the Year and is second only to Minnesota poker legend and World Poker Tour founder Lyle Berman on the Minnesota all-time money winner's list.
Mobridge, SD's Leroy DuBray got aces cracked in his first kick at the can here at Canterbury Park.
Rather than head home with a bad beat story, he bought in again and has emerged as the chip leader now as the start of Level 5 looms.
His rise up the leader board came courtesy of one opponent who shipped it in for a little more than 20,000 after flopping a seven-high diamond flush. DuBray had the , also known as the nuts. He made the call and is now over 50,000 and counting.
Minneapolis, MN local Andy Redleaf has been hit by the deck in the first four levels.
He now finds himself on the top of the chip counts after making aces full to drag a 10,000-chip pot and a queen-high flush to collect a 25,000 chip pot.
This in addition to numerous other pots where he continually comes up with the best of it.
Eau Claire, WI's Josh Chase has leaped into a spot among the leaders.
He collected a 40,000-chip pot turning a set of tens and getting it in against one opponent on a flush draw. The flush did not come and Chase is on over 60,000 and counting.
Current 2015 MSPT Player of the Year leader Mark Hodge is headed in the wrong direction here at Canterbury Park.
He led for 750 under the gun and got two callers going three ways to a flop. The small blind checked, but was the only caller when Hodge continued for 1,200.
Both players checked the turn, but the small blind fired out 3,000 at the river. Hodge called, but mucked when the small blind turned over the straight.
