Day 1b Of The Mid-States Poker Tour $1,100 Begins At 11:10 A.M.
After a large turnout in last week's event, The Mid-States Poker Tour is kicking off their second flight of their second event with The Mid-States Poker Tour $1,100 No-Limit Hold’em at Venetian Las Vegas. Like the prior event, this one also boasts a hefty guarantee, this time to the size of $1,500,000.
Yesterday’s flight saw a total of 179 entrants come out to play with Valentin Oberhauser leading the remaining 22 players of the flight with 538,000. This flight expects over double that in terms of entrant number and the following flight looks to be even bigger. Other players that bagged last flight included Reg Powell (365,000) and last week’s fourth place finisher Jack O’Neill (173,000).
Many players are expected to make appearances today, including MSPT 2021 player of the year Kyna England, Dan Bekavac, Aaron Johnson, Josh Reichard, and Rich Alsup.
The players will sit down with 25,000 in starting chips with blinds beginning at 100/100 and a 100 big blind ante. Blinds will last 40 minutes with a 15-minute break after every three levels. A 60-minute dinner break will occur after Level 9 and once the dinner break is completed, registration will be closed for that flight.
The players will bag up and return on Day 2 once they complete 15 levels. Stay tuned to PokerNews for all updates regarding the Mid-States Poker Tour.
