For the second stop of the 16th season, the MSPT traveled to Sycuan Casino & Resort in San Diego, CA to host the inaugural 100 GRAND STACK Festival!
Kicking off the 21-trophy event series was the first-ever $400 NLH 100 GRAND STACK, which tallied an impressive 635 entrants through four starting flights.
A $209,320 prize pool was generated and dived out between the 68 Day 2 players who had their eyes set on the title.
Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Keith Morgan (10th Place - $3,120), Rigoberto Rodriguez (20th Place - $2,568), Anthony Bland (17th Place - $2,140), Mary Anne Madruga (33rd Place - $1,841), and Clinton Wolcyn (24th Place - $1,541).
After a long day on the felt, it was Michigan native Mo Pourmandi who navigated his way to the finish line to capture a $37,000 first-place prize along with the first Regional Spadey trophy of Season 16!
