Don't Miss this Weekend's MSPT Tropicana Evansville $1,100 Buy-in $250K GTD Main Event 0001

Season 6 of the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) keeps on rolling this weekend with the MSPT Tropicana Evansville in Evansville, Indiana. The stop, which has been holding several qualifiers over the past week, will culminate this weekend with the Indiana State Poker Championship, an $1,100 buy-in $250,000 Guaranteed Main Event.

The Main Event will be held over three days beginning Friday with Day 1a at 4 p.m. Day 1a will play 14 levels. Saturday's Day 1b will also start at 4 p.m. and also play 14 levels. Players who advance from Day 1a are not eligible to play in Day 1b. The remaining players from each flight will combine on Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. and play until a champion is crowned.

"We're thrilled to be heading back to Tropicana Evansville, and thanks to last year's successful turnout, we've upped last year's $100K guarantee to $150K," said MSPT owner and operator Bryan Mileski. "I've no doubt we'll once again crush it as players seems excited to take their shot in the Indiana State Poker Championship."

As Mileski points out, last year's event was a big success; in fact, it more than doubled the guarantee as 225 entrants took to the felt to compete for a $60,527 first-place prize. In the end, Kentucky native Charlie Dawson defeated Alex Yen in heads-up play to capture the title.
