For the first time this season, the MSPT is headed to Hollywood Casino in St. Louis, MO, to host the Missouri State Poker Championship Series February 15th - 25th!

A total of 18 trophy events will take place which includes a $360 NLH Regional event that boasts a $100K guarantee during the opening weekend (February 15th - 18th).

The Regional event will host three starting flights, and the following trophy events will feed into the headlined $1,110 Main Event running from Thursday, February 22nd, through Sunday, February 25th, which features a $300K Guarantee for its three starting flights.

In its inaugural event held at the start of last season, Minnesota native Umut Ozturk claimed the top spot out of an 865-entry field to earn his first MSPT title along with a six-figure score while Jeff Sauer secured the defending champ title after he outlasted 734 runners en route to a $142,396 payday.

Who will be next to add their names to the list of aforementioned champions?

The MSPT live reporting crew will be on hand to provide live updates as the answer to that question is determined.
