After weeks of deep stack Texas Hold’em competitions, the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) deals out its final hands this weekend at Tropicana Evansville in the Main Event of the Indiana State Poker Championship.
The Main Event begins on Friday, August 17 at 2PM and culminates with the Final Table on Sunday, August 19 at 7PM. The Poker champion will take home his or her share of the $250,000 Guaranteed Main Event Prize Pool.
The MSPT is now in its ninth year with contests expanding nationwide. These tournaments cater directly to Poker players at all skill levels, offering affordable buy-ins which deliver large Prize Pools—adding a new level of prestige to Midwest Poker.
“Prize pools in some areas reach in excess of $1 Million,†says Giffen Tan, Executive Director of Gaming Operations at Tropicana Evansville. “We’ve had good showings with MSPT, with the fields growing stronger by about 20 percent each year.  We anticipate 350 to 400 players at this year’s Main Event.â€
You can view live Main Event excitement, complete with visible hole cards, on msptpoker.com or watch the action in person at the Tropicana Evansville Executive Conference Center. The event is open to the public 21 years of age or older, but space is limited.
