Welcome to Day 1a of Mid-States Poker Tour Canterbury Park

Mike Wilmes took home more than $100,000 in April.

For its final event of 2014, the Mid-States Poker Tour has returned to the site where it all began, Canterbury Park in Shakopee, Minn. It's the second time the tour can come through Canterbury this year. The first time, in late April, high school math teacher Mike Wilmes had the solutions, taking home $108,984 for defeating a field of 447, which set a state record for a major tournament in Minnesota.

We'll soon see if the tour can one-up its own record, starting when cards begin flying at 4 p.m. local time for the first of two Day 1 flights. Once again, the Allen Kessler-approved structure will be in use, starting with blinds of 50/100 and stacks of 20,000. Levels will last 40 minutes each, with breaks given every three levels. Each player is allowed to reenter once should they go bust. At the end of Level 9, reentries will be cut off, and players are scheduled to bag at the end of Level 14.

There will be a big prize pool and some serious Player of the Year sweats involved, so don't go anywhere.
