Welcome to Day 2 of Mid-States Poker Tour bestbet Jacksonville

mnuwwarah

Two grueling Day 1 heats are in the books and a 421-player field has been pared to 71. Today, one will stand above the rest and claim a first-place prize of more than $100,000 and the title of first Mid-States Poker Tour champion of 2015.

Plenty of tough contenders have made their presences felt, but the biggest buzz would be created if 2004 Main Event champion Greg Raymer were to take down the tournament. Raymer comes in with as good a chance as anyone, as he totes the fourth-biggest stack with 266,500. Others with a chance to grab the win include chip leader Jeff Klein (400,000), James Wilson (320,500), Rod Rodrigue (301,000), Patrick Steele (200,500), Judd Greenagel (145,000), Jim Boone (106,500), two-time champ Jason Zarlenga (89,000), Ryan Dykhouse (67,000), and Steve Anderson (42,500).

The tournament resumes at 11 a.m. local time here in Jacksonville, Fla. and will play down to a winner, pausing for a dinner break when a final table is determined.
