After 15 levels of play, the starting field of 822 players in the The Mid-States Poker Tour $1,100 Main Event No-Limit Hold'em at Venetian Las Vegas has played down to just 101 players who will return on Wednesday June 15th to play Day 2.
Leading the way is Tonio Roder who ended the day with 874,000. Everything went right for Roder today as the German player consistently put players into tough decisions for their tournament lives while amassing all of their chips. Roder is a German player who��s best cash comes from his 40th place finish in the 2021 WSOP Main Event for $163,900. He has put himself in a position to take home a sizable chunk of the $1,500,000 guaranteed prize pool.
