![[user269680]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Welcome to the start of the Mid-States Poker Tour main event at FireKeepers casino in Battle Creek, MI. This is the first of three “day ones” and the popular tour stop should draw a big crowd.
The second stop of the year at FireKeepers, Jason Zarlenga emerged victorious in May, besting over 400 entries to take home over $100,000. Zarlenga is the all-time money winner on tour and currently sits in third place in the race for Player Of the Year. He is expected to be in attendance, as are pros Adam Friedman and Allen Kessler.
The $1,100 buy-in tournament carries a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool and allows for one re-entry per flight. Cards are scheduled to be in the air at 4 p.m. local time. The plan is to play 14 40-minute levels, which means things will come to a close around 2 a.m, Friday morning. Then, at Noon on Friday, Day 1b will play out, while Day 1c will follow at the same time on Saturday. On Sunday, all surviving players will combine under one roof to play down to a winner.
Stay tuned to the live reporting as PokerNews will bring you the action over the next few days.
