Day 1a of the MSPT Season 17 $1,110 Missouri Poker State Championship at the Ameristar Casino has come to a close after seeing 43 entrants kick things off.
Almost a full day of action was played to completion, with the hard stop of five players being reached with 38:15 remaining in Level 15.
The final levels were full of action, which saw MSPT Champ Charlie Dawson secure one of the largest pots with a set of queens, which propelled him to the top of the chip counts with 458,000.
Closing the night second in chips was Season 16 Player of the Year Jake Long, who secured the final elimination of MSPT Champ Anthony Kastelic to take 401,000 into Sunday’s Day 2.
Following behind Long was Mark Lafata, who put 247,000 in his bag to end the night, while David Short (77,000) and Matthew Spiker (71,000) were the only others to find a Day 2 berth.
Among those to try and fall on Day 1a included Event #1 winner Thomas Hannan, Cory Bogert, Ryan Tepen, Steven Dill, and Joseph Herboth, just to name a few.
Those players, as well as any newcomers, have two more starting flights to jump back into action.
Day 1b will kick off at 2:00 p.m. local time on Friday, March 27th, while the third and final flight, Day 1c, will take place at the same time on Saturday, March 28th.
The surviving players from each flight will then return at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday to play down to a winner.
Join us tomorrow as we continue to bring you all the action and eliminations straight from the tournament floor at Ameristar Casino!
