The MSPT was back at Running Aces from Feb. 16-20, 2011 for its second stop at the venue. The field of 201 runners was the largest ever up to that point, and after three days of intense play, it was Jason Seitz, a gas station owner, that walked away with the $56,295 first-place prize and a RF Moeller Championship diamond bracelet.
Seitz, who also won the Heartland Poker Tour Mille Lacs in 2006 or $47,005, took down the MSPT event by defeating a tough final 12 that included three former MSPT winners in MSPT Hinckley champ Matt Hyland; MSPT Mille Lacs champ Jeremy Dresch; and amazingly Joe Matheson, the defending champ at Running Aces.
Matheson came close to a title defense but ultimately fell in third place to Seitz. “I didn’t have any time to try to satellite in this week,” Seitz explained after the win. “But I didn’t want to miss the MSPT so I just direct-bought.”
