Minnesota’s Blake Bohn cut his tournament chops playing mid-stakes events primarily in the Midwest. With his first reported cash coming in a $300 buy-in in 2005, Bohn has steadily worked his up the ranks thanks largely in part to a slew of cashes on the MSPT. He’s no stranger to big buy-ins now and has enjoyed some huge scores in South Florida including a seventh-place finish and $249,000 win in the 2014 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship.

With the High Roller clock continuing a climb, it now shows 30 entries. Bohn was among the first in the room just before the 12pm kickoff and he’s been firmly in his seat at Table 92 since cards went in the air about an hour ago. At present, he hovers right around starting stack.
