Welcome to Day 2 of Mid-States Poker Tour FireKeepers Casino
Three starting flights are in the books, and 119 players are ready to go for Mid-States Poker Tour FireKeepers Casino Day 2. Originally reported as a 120-player field, one player forfeited a Day 1b stack and bagged again on Day 1c.
There's a hefty carrot up top in the form of more than $142,000 in prize money. Some of the top contenders today include MSPT team pros Nick Pupillo and Jason Zarlenga, chip leader Brian Newman, Tom Midena, Patrick Steele, Dan Bekavac, Ken Baime, Andy Rogowski, Mark Johnson, David Gutfreund, and Adam Friedman.
Play kicks off at Level 15 (1,500/3,000/500) and will continue until a champion has been determined. There will be a dinner break when the final table is reached, at which point levels move from 40 minutes to one hour.
