Two flights are down and one is left, the last chance for players to get in on the growing prize pool in Mid-States Poker Tour Denver Poker Open $1,110 Main Event at Golden Gates Casino in the Rocky Mountains.
A total of 205 entries have been logged thus far, so the $200,000 guarantee is no longer in question. The only questions are how big the field will get, and will anyone be able to catch the 413,000 bagged by Jim Morrison after a torrid finish to Day 1b?
Those who have yet to bag — or wish to surrender their stacks — will have a chance starting at noon local time. Another day full of 40-minute levels is on tap, with players receiving 20,000 in their starting stacks and navigating from 100/100 to 1,500/3,000/3,000.
The latter level is where play will end, with about 26 minutes remaining on the clock, unless another hard stop is reached even earlier at 12% of the field. Those who do go bust can reenter as many times as they wish until the start of Level 13.
