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 #13: $200 Monster Stack NLH, 154 monster tamers went to the trenches and generated a $24,640 prize pool that was paid out to the top 18 players.
Among those to cash but fall before the final table were Troy Mattson (10th Place - $468), Sammy "Whammy" De Silva (13th Place - $394), William Carr (15th Place - $394), Jim Kangas (16th Place - $345), and Corey Littlewolf (18th Place - $345).
When the dust settled, it was Iowa native Mike Estes who held the Sapdey trophy high and collected the lion's share of the prize pool!
