Welcome to Day 1b of 2014 Mid-States Poker Tour Tropicana Evansville
At the conclusion of Day 1a of Mid-States Poker Tour Tropicana Evansville, local grinder Michael Hahn bagged a hefty chip lead with 299,000. Today, a matching 14-level structure will be played for Day 1b, which is set to begin at 4 p.m. local time here in Evansville, Ind.
Each level will last 40 minutes. Players are allowed to reenter once should they go bust, and each player will begin with 20,000 chips, with blinds beginning at 50/100 under the Allen Kessler-approved structure. Breaks will be given every three levels, and reentries will close at the conclusion of the break after Level 9.
A total of 105 runners entered yesterday's flight, and many will surely be back for more, likely including Charlie Dawson, Aaron Gamino, Jeff Grimes, and Nicholas Pupillo. We'll be on the lookout for all of the big hands and top stacks as Day 1b progresses, so stay tuned to PokerNews.
