Here’s a look at the MSPT 100 Grand Stack Series schedule:
MSPT Gold Cards
For every side event with a $200 buy-in and above, the MSPT has introduced coveted Gold Cards.
MSPT Gold Cards are awarded to winners of MSPT Series events. These Cards are highly coveted by poker players and represent a significant accomplishment in the poker world, representing skill and success.
The custom, gorgeous, and premium MSPT Gold Cards are produced using Gold Foil by Faded Spade – the Gold Standard of Playing Cards in the poker industry – designed specifically for MSPT by one of the best artists in the country, Joel Jensen, and are displayed and awarded in a Graded Card Case.
The first Gold Card won will be the custom Ace of Spades, the second will be the 2 of Spades, the third will be the 3 of Spades, and so on. After win 13, the next suit will be presented. The race for the most MSPT Gold Cards is sure to be competitive, with the addition of the new Gold Card Leaderboard as well as the number of Gold Cards won displayed with each player’s MSPT profile.
