For the first 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 Season 17 Michigan Poker State Championship!

In Event #3: $300 Monster Stack NLH, 232 monster hunters took to the trenches and generated a $56,840 prize pool that was divided out between the top 24 hunters.

Among those to cash but fall before the final table were Dustin Bowling (10th Place - $1,023), April Gibbons (15th Place - $853), KC Vaughn (16th Place - $767), Jamie Eisenhunt (20th Place - $631), and Matthew Radcliffe (24th Place - $546).

In the end, it was Ohio native Brian Patton who tamed the monster, earning the top prize along with her first Gold Card!
