Welcome To Day 1B Of Venetian MSPT Main Event!
The second flight of The Mid-States Poker Tour: $1,600 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event at The Venetian Resort In Las Vegas, Nevada. Day 1b of the $1,600 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event Begins at 11:10 am, and is another opportunity for players to get a piece of the $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Last night saw 34 players bag up for Day 2 out of 272 entries and it was Las Vegas Native, Mike Heck leading the way with 726,000. This field looks to be much larger than the former and could potentially have a new tournament chip leader.
