A player in middle position opened to 300, and "Wild" Bill Romer made it 900 in the cutoff. The player on the button called, as did Steve Anderson in the big blind. The opener thought a bit and reraised to 3,000. Romer immediately tossed in 10,900, and action folded back to the opener, who snap-folded 
face-up.

On Thursday, with three starting flights on tap at Mid-States Poker Tour FireKeepers Casino, players seemingly had infinite time to qualify for Day 2 on championship Sunday. That time is nearly over, as only the last of the three starting flights remains, with Day 1c ready to kick off at noon local time here in Battle Creek, Mich.
Already 65 players have punched their tickets with the tournament drawing well over 300 players. A big Saturday turnout is typically the norm for the MSPT, so that number should grow to around 500 if this flight holds true to form.
Who will join top players like Nick Pupillo, Nick Jivkov, David Gutfreund, Adam Friedman, defending champ Ryan Dykhouse, Day 1b leader Tom Midena, Ken Baime, and Zal Irani on Day 2? We'll find out over the course of another 14 levels of play today, with each player again starting with 20,000 in chips at 50/100 blinds. Each player may reenter once before the start of Level 10, and with this being the last flight, expect players to hold their bullets close to their vests.
