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!
Kicking off the nine-Gold Card Series was Event #1: $400 Ultimate Stack NLH, which saw 248 players take to the felt and generated an $83,080 prize pool, with the top 27 players taking a chunk of the pie.
Among those to cash but fall before the final table were Steven Ceresa (10th Place - $1,494), Ryan Smith (13th Place - $1,246), MSPT Champ Jeff Copeland (18th Place - $1,072), Logan Stockwell (21st Place - $914), and Gary Vick (27th Place - $698).
Walking away the victor was Daniel Kammeraad, who chopped up the victory to take home the top prize along!
