For the second time this season, the MSPT made its way to Battle Creek, MI, and players have been duking it out over the past week inside the FireKeepers Casino for the Spade Poker Championship!
Kicking off the five-card event series was Event #1: $400 Ultimate Stack NLH, with 312 players taking to the field and generating a $104,520 prize pool that was paid out to the top 36.
Among those to cash but fall before the final table were Dave Bashel (11th Place - $1,766), Fred Bismack (14th Place - $1,411), Linas Kasputis (19th Place - $1,097), Amie Martini (22nd Place - $836), and Kelly Mahana (28th Place - $732).
Walking away the victor was MSPT champ George Janssen, who took home the top prize along with his first Gold Card!
