Players have returned from their fourth break of the evening, meaning registration is now closed for Day 1b of the MSPT Season 17 Indiana Poker State Championship at the Ameristar Casino in East Chicago.

This flight recorded 158 entries, which, along with the 106 entries tallied from Day 1a, brings the tournament total to 264 thus far, with one flight still to go tomorrow.

The plan is to play until the hard stop of 11% of the field, rounded up (18 players), is reached.

Yesterday’s Day 1a saw 12 players advance, and the tournament clock now reads 33 players remaining, with another 18 hopefuls looking to join them as we head into the final levels of play this evening.
