Another full day of action has played to its conclusion at the 2020 Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Golden Gates $360 Regional Event. The second of four flights drew 207 entries to bring the two-day total thus far to 368.
Of those 207 entries, 24 players remained when chips went into bags and Abhinav Parakh found himself atop the counts with a stack of 414,000. He was the only player above 400,000, but found four players hot on his heels with Roman Mai (392,000),Ian Glycenfer (390,000), Branden Rooney (386,000), and Zach Gutierrez (371,000) rounding out the top five.
Much like Day 1a, the final level of the night saw an onslaught of casualties, with players such as Steve Wilkie and David Blankenship among those to be eliminated shortly before play concluded for the night with chips flying all across the three remaining tables of play that led to a lot of players riding roller coasters with their stack sizes before becoming official for the evening.
Several other well-known players to the Colorado poker scene will also be joining the aforementioned five. Richard Seale[/b[ (282,000), [b]Greg Collins (240,000), Sammy Aweida (183,000) and Stephen Zipprich (137,000) are just a few more of the players to add their names to the Day 2 roster along with the 17 to have already advanced from Day 1a.
Among those not as lucky at the felt included Andreas Ramadanis, Kevin Kurtz, Ben Keeline, Bobby Sanoubane, and Ryan Dodson, and at least a few of them are likely to be seen back in action for one or more of the two remaining flights.
Play will resume Friday at noon for Day 1c with the $150,000 guaranteed prize pool likely to be surpassed early in the day. Keep it at PokerNews for updates as all the action unfolds.
