Over the past week, players have been inside the newly renovated Running Aces Casino & Racetrack in Colombus MN, duking it out for the MSPT Season 16 Minnesota Poker State Championship!
In Event #8: $400 Monster Stack NLH, 338 hunters went to the trenches over a two-day span and created a $111,730 prize pool that paid out the top 38 players.
Among those to cash but fall before the final table were Matt Dodd (14th Place - $1,477), two-time MSPT champ Tim Thorp (18th Place - $1,258), Vic Peppe (20th Place - $1,149), Jake Long (23rd Place - $875), Leo Fussy (24th Place - $875), and MSPT Hall of Famer Mark Hodge (38th Place - $766).
When the dust settled, Minnesota native Mark Lick was the last man standing, taking home the $25,169 top prize, along with the Sapdey trophy!
