For the third time this season, the MSPT has returned to the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino in Milwaukee, WI, to host the 2026 Wisconsin Poker State Championship!
In Event #2: $400 PLO, 161 four-card specialists went to the felt and generated a $53,935 prize pool, which paid out the top 18 players.
Among those to cash but fall before the final table were Imran Sajwani (10th Place - $1,025), 2025 Michigan Poker State Champion Corey Wick (12th Place - $1,025), Bohdan Slyvinskyi (14th Place - $863), Ken Foss (16th Place - $755), and Matthew Simonsen (18th Place - $755).
In the end, Wisconsin native Andrew Diehl outlasted the bunch to take home the lion's share of the prize pool, along with his first Gold Card!
