Welcome to Day 1c of Mid-States Poker Tour Golden Gates
The final heat of the Mid-States Poker Tour Golden Gates is set to begin at 5 p.m. local time here in Black Hawk, Colo. With 300 players already entered through the first two Day 1s, we can expect another field in the neighborhood of 150 today as players take their last shots at this rapidly growing prize pool.
Since the fields here at Golden Gates have been larger than normal by MSPT standards, 10 levels will be played instead of the usual nine. Players will begin with 25,000 in chips, and blinds start at 50/100. Levels will last 50 minutes throughout the day.
Nobody on Day 1b could match the 302,100 bagged by Gene Gioia on Day 1a, so we'll see if anyone on Day 1c can snag the overall chip lead. Be sure to tune in throughout the evening as we bring you all of the live updates here on PokerNews.
