For the second time ever, the MSPT made its way to St. Charles, MO, and players have been duking it out for the Ameristar Poker Open!
In Event #5: $300 Seniors (50+) NLH, 223 senior citizens took to the trenches and generated a $ 54,635 prize pool, which was divided among the top 24 seniors.
Among those to cash but fall before the final table were MSPT Hall of Famer Gerald Cunniff (11th Place - $983), Caroline McCarter (14th Place - $820), Darlyn Krause (17th Place - $710), Don Berry (20th Place - $612), and MSPT Champ Jeff Copeland (24th Place - $546).
In the end, St. Louis native Andrew Bakota strolled away as the top senior to claim the top prize!
