Another full day of action has played to its conclusion at the 2021 Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Grand Falls Casino $360 Regional Event. The second of three flights drew 261 entries to bring the two-day total thus far to 449 and with that number, the $50K GTD has already been more than doubled with one flight remaining.

Of those 261 entries, 38 players remained when chips went into bags and Justin Rustvold found himself atop the counts with a stack of 404,000. He was the only player above 400,000, but found four players hot on his heels with Taylor Howard (388,000), Mark Fink (376,000), Josh Nieman (350,000), and Curtis Vierstraete (342,000) rounding out the top five.

Much like Day 1a, the final level of the night saw an onslaught of casualties, with players such as Bryan Skreens and Bob Van Syckle among those to be eliminated before play concluded for the night with chips flying all across the five remaining tables in the final level of play that led to a lot of players riding roller coasters with their stack sizes before becoming official for the evening.

Several other familiar players will also be joining the aforementioned five. Jeff Grimes (228,000), David Hengen (193,000), Cy Church (137,000) and Alex Winter (79,000) are just a few more of the players to add their names to the Day 2 roster along with the 23 to have already advanced from Day 1a.

Among those not as lucky at the felt included Matt Alexander, Jonathan Kim, Bridgette Field, 2018 champ Ryan Skluzak, and defending champ Swadeep Mishra, with at least a few if not all of them likely to be seen back in action for the final flight.
