For the fifth stop of its 15th season, the MSPT made its way to St. Louis for the Missouri State Poker Championship and players have been duking it out over the past week inside the Hollywood Casino for its 16-trophy event series!
In Event #14: $250 No-Limit Monster Stack, 180 hunters took to the tables and created a $36,000 prize pool which was reserved for the top 18 players.
Among those to cash but fall before the final table were Gilbert Shadowens (10th Place - $684), Mark Lafata (11th Place - $576), and Olive Rivers (18th Place - $504).
In the end, it was Illinois native Nicholas Lafata who tamed the Monster to take down the lion's share of the prize pool along with the Sapdey trophy!
