Welcome to Day 1a of the 2021 MSPT Venetian $1,600 Main Event
Last week, Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) hosted a $1,100 Main Event with Ethan "Rampage Poker" Yau taking home the lions share ($230,379) after emerging victorious over a 1,741 entry field and starting today, the MSPT will host another Main Event featuring a larger $1,600 buy-in with another massive $1 million guarantee.
The last time the MSPT held a $1,600 Main Event at Venetian Las Vegas was back in June when three-time WSOP bracelet winner Chance Kornuth navigated his way through a 2,011 entry-field to claim the top prize of $412,086 and his first MSPT title.

Starting Flight Schedule
In similar fashion to last week, there will be three starting flights with Day 1a set to begin at 11:10 a.m. local time. This time around, players will start with 30,000 in chips and once again, levels will last 40 minutes in length with Level 1 starting at 100/100/100 blinds. Players will go on a 15-minute break after every three levels and a 60-minute dinner break at the end of level nine.
Late registration will be available until the end of dinner break (approximately 6:40 p.m.) and players will have the option to re-enter an unlimited amount of times before then. Fifteen levels are scheduled to be played, which means action will conclude at around 10:40 p.m. The surviving players will bag and tag their chips and advance to Thursday's Day 2.
