For the second time in Season 7, the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) will visit Ho-Chunk Gaming Wisconsin Dells in Baraboo, Wisconsin. From September 3-11, the MSPT will host a series of $65 and $250 qualifiers culminating in a $1,100 buy-in, $200,000 guarantee Main Event.
The Main Event, which requires players be 21 years of age to participate, will run from Friday, September 9 through Sunday, September 11. The tournament features two starting flights beginning Friday evening with Day 1A at 4 p.m., followed by Day 1B at the same time on Saturday. The remaining players from each flight will combine on Sunday morning at 11:00 a.m. and play until a champion is crowned.
"Ho-Chunk Gaming Wisconsin Dells is a hotspot for poker," said MSPT owner and operator Bryan Mileski. "Players come from all across the Midwest for the poker action. What's more, a lot of them bring their families as there are waterparks and more just up the road."
The Main Event final table will be broadcast LIVE (15-minute delay) worldwide on msptpoker.com using RFID technology allowing all viewers to see the hole cards. In addition, the entirety of the Main Event will be live reported in the MSPT's brand new live blog.
The MSPT last visited the property back in February for the 2nd Annual Wisconsin State Poker Championship, which attracted 489 entries and more than doubled the $200k advertised guarantee. Andy Rubinberg emerged victorious in that event to capture a $120,808 first-place prize.
