Day 2 Started
Out of 115 entrants, 24 have advanced to Day 2 of Mid-States Poker Tour Belle of Baton Rouge. Adam Friedman has a wide lead over the field, coming in with 356,500, more than double the stack of second-place Mihail Karasoulis. Friedman's stack and resume (more than $1.6 million in cashes) make him the prohibitive favorite, but there are some notables who will undoubtedly have a say in who takes it down today.
David Chocheles (106,000), Corrie Wunstel (76,500), Michael Horchoff (60,500), and Adam Lamphere (46,500) are no strangers to deep runs, and they could challenge Friedman should they get some chips.
Day 2 play will begin at 11 a.m. local time with blinds beginning at 1,500/3,000/500. Play will continue until a final table is determined, at which point there will be a dinner break. We'll be bringing you all of the live updates here on PokerNews.
