Welcome to Day 1b of 2014 Mid-States Poker Tour Belle of Baton Rouge

MSPT Baton Rouge Day 1a
MSPT Baton Rouge Day 1a

Austin Bursavich set the pace by bagging over 187,000 in chips at yesterday's Day 1a of Mid-States Poker Tour Belle of Baton Rouge, and everyone at today's Day 1b will be looking to better that total when play begins at 5 p.m. local time.

The potential for an even larger stack to emerge should be there, as 55 players registered yesterday, but tournament organizers are hopeful for a total in the triple digits today. All players who do survive the nine scheduled levels will return tomorrow for Day 2, at which point the fields will combine and play down to a winner.

Blinds will start out at 25/50 before eventually progressing to 800/1,600/200. The starting stack will be 15,000, though a 5,000 add-on is available for $10 and will likely be universally used. Each level will last 50 minutes, and players will receive breaks after every two levels. Players are allowed one reentry per Day 1 flight in the first four levels, so be advised that players busting early on may still be playing.
