For the first time this season, the MSPT traveled to JACK Cleveland Casino and played host to a five-Gold Card event series for the Season 17 Ohio Poker State Championship!

Kicking things off was Event #1: $400 NLH Tag Team, which saw 250 players team up to take to the field and generated a $40,000 prize pool that was paid out to the top 15 teams.

Among those to cash but fall before the final table were Ruslan Zakarchuk & Jeffrey Thornsbury (10^th Place - $820), Bryan Corrigan & Zachary Nelson (12^th Place - $820), and Darren Gensler & Salim El Boustani (15^th Place - $690).

Coming out the top team was Yung Lee & Robert Immel, who took home the $11,200 top prize along with their first Gold Cards!
