Welcome to Day 2, Who Will Be the Next MSPT Champion?

Welcome Day 2 of the MSPT Michigan Poker State Championship. There are 110 players who will battle today to determine who will be the next MSPT Champ.

Steve Williams leads the field with 400,500 chips about 90,000 ahead of the next highest player, Mike Ross (311,500).

Mike Deis and Patrick Steele (134,500), both former MSPT Players of the Year are in the Day 2 field and starting with the same exact stack. While Nick Pupillo (174,000) and Mark Hodge (26,000) would take the lead in the 2015 MSPT Player of the Year rankings with a 27th place or better finish.

By the end of tonight, one of these players will be the MSPT Michigan State Poker Champion. The MSPT doesn’t allow deals, so the winner will have to beat the 109 other players to earn the title. Former MSPT winner Ryan Dykhouse (38,500) will be looking for his second MSPT win. Also two MSPT Pros, Nick Pupillo and Jason Zarlenga (14,500) are in the Day 2 field.

Stay tuned throughout the day for all the news and updates from the felt and see who will be the next MSPT Champ!
