Welcome to Day 1a of Mid-States Poker Tour Canterbury Park
We're back for more Mid-States Poker Tour coverage after a couple of weeks off. When we last checked in on the MSPT, Nebraskan Matthew Anderson took down MSPT Meskwaki for just over $100,000.
The room is eerily silent here on the second floor of Canterbury Park Casino in Shakopee, Minn., absent the usual hustle and bustle of the time just before an MSPT event. You wouldn't know it at the moment, but over 100 players will soon fill the room for Day 1a of MSPT Canterbury Park. The very first stop in MSPT history was here, drawing 130 players total, but nowadays the fields here are consistently north of 350.
We'll play 14 40-minute levels today, starting at 50/100, with each player wielding 20,000 in chips to start. Breaks will be given every three levels, and one reentry will be allowed for each player per starting day. The dealers are now taking their seats, and we'll be bringing so all of the live updates right here on PokerNews, so don't go anywhere.
