For the first time this season, the MSPT is headed to the Ameristar Casino Hotel in East Chicago, Illinois from August 27th - September 2nd for a 10-event trophy series!
Last season, the MSPT made its inaugural stop at the Ameristar in August which set a high bar with the Main Event attracting 841 entries which saw Illinois native Marc Bernal capture his first MSPT title along with a cool $130,822 first place prize.
The next trip saw the MSPT come into town just before Old Hallow's Eve and attracted another 557 runners which saw MSPT Hall of Famer Blake Bohn capture his record-setting fifth Main Event title enroute to a $113,146 payday to become the defending champion.
