Erica Sumner holds a large lead with 232,600 in chips as get set for Day 2 of Mid-States Poker Tour Belle of Baton Rouge. Sumner's attempting to become the first female champion in the history of the MSPT (four-plus seasons).

Trailing her and rounding out the top 10 are Austin Bursavich (187,300), Michael Benton (145,300), WIll "Monkey" Souther (132,000), Kou Vang (117,200), Nicholas Graphia (95,700), David Holmes (89,700), Jeff Grimes (85,800), Allen Kessler (82,100), and Gene Dudek (81,900). With well-known players such as Souther, Vang, Kessler, Matt Kirby (69,300), and Justin Truesdell (50,200) in contention, we'll surely be seeing a high level of play here on Day 2.

Cards are scheduled to fly starting at 10:30 a.m. local time, and play will begin at Level 10 (1,000/2,000/200) and continue until a champion is crowned. According to the MSPT's official payout structure, that champion should receive about $33,000, along with an RF Moeller diamond bracelet.
