Over the past week, players have been inside the Ameristar Casino in St. Charles, MO, duking it out for their MSPT Season 17 Missouri Poker State Championship!

In Event #5: $300 Pot-Limit Omaha, 125 four-card specialists took to the tables, generating a $30,625 prize pool that was paid out to the top 15 players.

Among those to cash but fall before the final table were Chad Buzinski (10th Place - $628), David Kowalski (11th Place - $628), MSPT Champ Chris Audrain (12th Place - $628), Satar Al-Sadoun (13th Place - $483), Austin Schaal (14th Place - $483), and Robert Keeling (15th Place - $483)

Walking away the victor was St. Louis native Mike Estes, who secured the outright win to go along with his first Gold Card!
