Starting Day Outlook

The first exciting flight of the MSPT Season 17 JACK Cleveland Ohio Poker State Championship Main Event will be getting started today at 3:15 p.m. local time.

The standard MSPT structure is in play, with 30,000 starting stacks and blinds beginning at 100/200/200.

Levels increase every 40 minutes throughout each starting flight, and players receive a 15-minute break after completing every three levels (two hours of play).

Late registration is open until the beginning of Level 13 at approximately 12:15 a.m. local time

All Day 1 flights will play until 11% of the field (rounded up) remains, meaning all players who advance to Day 2 will be in the money.

This is a best-stack forward event: If a player qualifies for Day 2 more than once, they may only play the higher chip stack; any lower stack(s) will be removed from play at the start of Day 2 and receive the lowest Day 2 payout.

Player of the Year points will only be awarded for the higher stack. Players will only receive credit for a single MSPT Main Event cash finish.

Those who are unable to find bags at the end of today will have opportunities to re-enter for Day 1b tomorrow, February 13^th, and for 1c on Saturday, February 14^th, both starting at 12:15 p.m.

All surviving players from the starting flights will reconvene on Sunday, February 15^th, at 11:15 a.m. and will play to a winner.

A new addition to this season is that each Main Event winner will be awarded a $3,500 seat into the ROCK ‘N’ ROLL POKER OPEN MSPT Championship at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, FL, while the top 64 World Ranked MSPT Players as of December 2, 2026 will compete in a HEADS UP FREEROLL tournament at the 2026 MSPT Winter Poker Classic at Running Aces Poker Tournaments for $20,000!
