Eau Claire, Wisc., native Chris Burmeister brings 360,000 in chips into Day 2 to lead the 71 players who survived two Day 1 flights the past two days. He leads a field that includes Day 1a leader Aaron Johnson (233,500), Kou Vang (167,500), David Gutfreund (143,500), David Gonia (127,500), Patrick Steele (113,500), Nick Jivkov (103,500), and Jason Sell (41,000).
Undoubtedly the biggest storyline to watch going into today will be Vang, who is gunning for an amazing fourth straight Mid-States Poker Tour final table. He notched finishes of second, eighth, and fifth in the past three MSPT events, so he's surely still hungry to score that first big win of 2014.
Blinds will begin at 1,500/3,000/500 at Level 15 when play begins here in Wisconsin Dells, Wisc., at 10 a.m. local time. So, get your coffee ready and follow along with us here at PokerNews as we bring you all of the live updates.
