After two Day 1 flights, 71 players have survived and advanced to play Day 2 of Mid-States Poker Tour Running Aces. Mark Hodge will be holding the chip lead with 413,000 at Level 15 (1,500/3,000/500), but plenty of solid players will be chasing him, such as Joe Ford, Mike Schneider, John Reading, Nick Pupillo, Jeff Fielder, and Mike Ross. Even a short-stacked Kou Vang with just 23,000 will likely have something to say about who emerges as champion today.
Indeed, the plan is to play down to a winner, with a dinner break scheduled whenever the final 10 players have emerged from the field. The latest MSPT champ will take home more than $90,000 in prize money, so stay tuned to see who that will be.
