Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Renea Mahaffey
Renea Mahaffey

On a {3-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop, the big blind bet out 12,000 into Renea Mahaffey, who made it 24,000. The big blind called, and Mahaffey shipped it for 45,000 on the {6-Spades} turn. Her opponent thought for a couple of minutes before calling off almost all of his stack.

Mahaffey: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Big blind: {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Mahaffey needed to dodge only nines, and it was an {8-Spades} river.

Raymer Doubles One Up

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Greg Raymer opened for 7,000 in early position and then called the shove of a short-stacked player who had 29,500 in the small blind.

Raymer: {j-Spades}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

"That's a good flop for ace-nine," Raymer commented as {4-Spades}{2-Spades}{a-Diamonds} rolled out of the dealer's hand, leaving him drawing very slim. A {10-Clubs} turn was the end of it.

Welcome to Day 2 of Mid-States Poker Tour bestbet Jacksonville

Two grueling Day 1 heats are in the books and a 421-player field has been pared to 71. Today, one will stand above the rest and claim a first-place prize of more than $100,000 and the title of first Mid-States Poker Tour champion of 2015.

Plenty of tough contenders have made their presences felt, but the biggest buzz would be created if 2004 Main Event champion Greg Raymer were to take down the tournament. Raymer comes in with as good a chance as anyone, as he totes the fourth-biggest stack with 266,500. Others with a chance to grab the win include chip leader Jeff Klein (400,000), James Wilson (320,500), Rod Rodrigue (301,000), Patrick Steele (200,500), Judd Greenagel (145,000), Jim Boone (106,500), two-time champ Jason Zarlenga (89,000), Ryan Dykhouse (67,000), and Steve Anderson (42,500).

The tournament resumes at 11 a.m. local time here in Jacksonville, Fla. and will play down to a winner, pausing for a dinner break when a final table is determined.
