Day 1c Started
The last of the three flights for the Mid-States Poker Tour $1,100 No-Limit Hold’em at FireKeepers Casino in Battle Creek, Michigan begins today at 12 p.m. Today looks to be the biggest single flight in all of Michigan poker history.
While last time’s final flight got 697 entrants, yesterday’s Day 1b got 762 entrants and this flight already progressed to the alternate list before the day even started. Many players are expected to fire today including Kyna England, Aaron Massey, Ralph Massey, and Kevin Maahs.
The players will sit down with 25,000 in starting chips with blinds at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante and levels going up every 40 minutes. After every three levels, there will be a 10-minute break. After Level 9 there will be a 40-minute dinner break, after which the players will come back, play an additional three levels until registration closes. After which, the players will play three more levels and then bag up for the day at the end of level 15 or if the field comes down to 12% of the remaining players.
This is the player's final chance to get a piece of this $1,000,000 guaranteed prizepool which is currently bigger and still growing. The players who bag all flight will reunite on Sunday the 15th at 11 am to play down to a winner. Stay tuned to PokerNews for continued updates on the flights, the second day, and the eventual winner of the tournament.
The players for flight 1c have taken their seats and begun play.
