Level 6

Miholich was able to pick up his hardware prior to coming to San Diego, which he showed off to PokerNews as you can see below. Only time will tell if Miholich can add a MSPT title to his list of accomplishments.

New MSPT Chips and Tables
Level 7
: 400/800, 800 ante
To say a lot of preparation went into the debut MSPT Showdown Series at Sycuan Casino would be an understatement. Both the tour and venue have been working together for months to bring players a great festival, and part of that called for investing in brand new MSPT-branded tables and chipset.
Here's a look at both...

2021 MSPT South Dakota State Poker Championship Coming Up May 14-16
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
After the MSPT leaves California, they’ll head back to the Midwest to Silverado-Franklin Casino in Deadwood for the $1,100 South Dakota State Poker Championship from May 14-16, 2021.
In the past, the South Dakota State Poker Championship has been a standalone event at Silverado-Franklin dating back to 2011, but in 2018 they joined forces with the MSPT. In 2017, Ryan Skluzak topped a field of 136 entries to win the 2017 South Dakota State Poker Championship for $37,500. The first year partnered with the MSPT, the field grew to 286 runners and saw Rick Burleson take it down for $63,462, and in 2019 it was Sergio Mireles besting a 258-entry field to win it for $60,946.
The Silverado-Franklin Hotel & Gaming Complex offers more than 360 different slot machines, Deadwood’s largest table games area (Caribbean Stud, 4-Card Poker, Let It Ride, and 3-Card Poker all with a $1,000 betting limit), and a poker room. In addition, there is great food and drink options at Legends Steakhouse, Silverado Grand Buffet, and the Veranda, which offers unique views of historic Mount Moriah Cemetery, White Rocks, and the town of Deadwood.
Deadwood is known for many things but for poker players it's perhaps best known for aces and eights, otherwise known as the Deadman’s Hand. In 1876, Wild Bill Hickok held that hand in a game of poker at a saloon just a few blocks from the present-day Silverado when he was shot by Jack McCall.
