From July 9-17, the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) will return to Potawatomi Hotel & Casino in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for our second $350 buy-in, $100,000 guaranteed Regional Event of Season 7. The stop, which requires players be 21 years of age to play, will host more than a dozen $50 and $90 satellites for the Regional Event, which will feature three starting flights.

Day 1a will kick off at 5:00 p.m. local time on Thursday, July 14, while Day 1b will take place at the same time on Friday, July 15. Then, on Saturday, July 16, Day 1c will get underway at 2:00 p.m. The survivors from all three flights will then combine at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, July 17 to play down to a winner.

Players are allowed a max of one reentry per starting flight during the standard registration process. Each starting flight will play 16 levels that will last 30 minutes each.

"Few poker markets thrive as well as the one in and around Milwaukee," said MSPT owner and operator Bryan Mileski. "Potawatomi Hotel & Casino is a luxurious property with unlimited gaming options. As such, it's no surprise to see our events there attract players from throughout Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota."

Indeed, the last time the MSPT rolled into Milwaukee for a Regional Event was back in January when 904 entries – a record for the Regional Events – took to the felt to battle for a $58,964 top prize. Oscar Arndt walked away with the top prize, while the likes of David Gonia (3rd - $20,965), Jason Bender (7th - $9,303), and Travis Lauson (18th - $1,493) all walked away with some cash.

Speaking of Lauson, who is in action today, he returned to the property in April and won the MSPT Potawatomi Main Event for $129,077. What's even more amazing, he did it after finishing runner-up in the same event in the fall of 2015. You can read more about Lauson's incredible victory by clicking here.
