The Michigan Man

Local rounder Chris Meyers has been running pretty good...in Michigan.

Six months ago he finished fifth in the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) event at FireKeepers Casino In Battle Creek, MI. At the time, it was the largest poker tournament in Michigan state history.

Last month they broke the record drawing an even bigger field to FireKeepers and Meyers returned to climb the ladder more than a little. In fact, he captured the title.

He banked $191,196 in the process, and took the lead in the MSPT Player of the Year race, which offers heaps of cash in buy-ins next season. To help secure the title, Myers will be travelling to MSPT stops in Wisconsin and possibly Minnesota before the end of the year.

But for now, he's back home in Western New York and looking to crush this PLO event in his home poker room.
