Welcome to Day 2 of MSPT Riverside $1,100 Main Event
Two starting flights are in the books, and it's time to play for the big money at Mid-States Poker Tour Riverside $1,100 Main Event.
An unprecedented field of 862 has packed the poker room plus convention center over the past couple of days, but that's been trimmed to a manageable number of 112 after 30 total levels of action, 15 apiece on each starting day. A large majority of those 112 will be cashing, and payout information should be available near the start of the day, with the money bubble bursting in the first couple of hours.
Some Midwest stalwarts will be ready to roll when things kick off, including Jeff Grimes, Phil Mader, Nick Pupillo, Alex Ziskin, Byron Ziebell, and PokerNews' own Chad Holloway. Grimes has by far and away the biggest stack after bagging a staggering sum of 809,000, but poker tournaments tend to get wild, especially in the early stages of Day 2 of these MSPTs, so things could change in a hurry.
Day 2 play kicks off with 3,000/6,000/6,000 and will see 40-minute levels played until a champion has emerged. Keep an eye on PokerNews to see who that winner will be.

Kurfman Hits All of his Outs
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
John Kurfman shoved for 65,000 over a 12,000 open from Kirby Rogers on his right in early position. Rogers was in there with a quick call holding

Kurfman didn't have to wait long as both of the other two fours arrived on the flop to allow him to double up.

: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The 862 entrants created a prize pool of $836,140 at Mid-States Poker Tour Riverside $1,100 Main Event. That bounty will be divvied up among the top 90 finishers, so 22 unlucky players will walk away empty-handed here on Day 2.
The top prize will be $162,781, with everyone at the final table earning at least $11,685. A min-cash in 90th will be worth $2,170. Click the "Payouts" tab above for a full breakdown of the prize distribution.
Ditmarson's Rags Turn to a Boat
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Andy Rogowski opened in the hijack for 15,000 and Jared Ditmarson called on his left. Shae Drobushevich shoved on the button for 42,000. Rogowski tank-folded and Ditmarson called.
Ditmarson: 
Drobushevich: 
Rogowski chuckled as the dealer spread a flop of 
to give Ditmarson two pair. He said he had ace-five after the 
hit the turn but the 
river just gave Ditmarson a full house anyway.

The words had barely left his mouth before Grimes mucked, and Asbury showed
