In addition to the marquee Main Event, MSPT Grand Falls will feature a series of satellites and a few side events for players to take their shot at winning a big score.
The Main Event has a guaranteed prize pool of $200,000 and could surpass that if the event attracts enough entrants. Last year's MSPT Grand Falls Main Event attracted 532 runners to generate a prize pool of $514,540.
There will be two starting flights in the Main Event, one on August 19 and another on August 20, and players will get a starting stack of 25,000 chips in exchange for their buy-in.
Day 2 of the Main Event will play out on August 21 and will play down to a winner, who will take home the lion's share of the prize pool and the MSPT championship trophy.
In the weeks leading up to the event, there will be a number of satellites running to give players a chance to win a Main Event ticket for as little as $70 or $265.
In addition to the Main Event, MSPT Grand Falls will feature the $135 buy-in Thousandaire No-Limit Hold'em event, which gets underway August 20.
MSPT Grand Falls will then close out with the $250 buy-in Last Chance Showdown No-Limit Hold'em event, scheduled to take place on August 21.
