For the first time this season, the MSPT made its way to East Chicago, IN, and players have been duking it out over the past week inside the Ameristar Casino for its 11-Gold Card Festival!

In Event #4: $300 Ultimate Stack NLH, 128 ultimate players took to the tables and created a $31,360 prize pool, reserved for the top 18 players.

Among those to take a piece of the prize pool but fall before the final table were Vishal Antiya (10th Place - $731), Mark Perales (11th Place - $731), Garrett Christie (12th Place - $615), Sami Shurbaji (13th Place - $533), Angelo Kozonis (14th Place - $533), and Jordan McBain (15th Place - $533).

Walking away with the ultimate victory was George Koutsloukos, who claimed the outright victory for his first Gold Card!
