In 2018, the inaugural MSPT Cleveland Poker Open attracted 581 entrants and saw Abdul “Dulie” Amer, a good friend of poker pros Adam Friedman and Nick Guagenti, capture the title and $118,350 first-place prize.
The MSPT Season 10 Cleveland Poker Open last January drew 725 entries creating a $703,250 total prize pool, which made it by far the largest major poker tournament ($1K+ buy-in) in Cleveland’s history, breaking our own record from the previous year. In the end, it was Sean Munjal of Ann Arbor, Michigan, who navigated the field to take down a $140,654 first-place prize.
The property, which is open 24/7, is a 300,000-square-foot complex – 96,000 square feet are dedicated to gaming including slot machines, table games, and poker – the property is located inside the historic Higbee Building on Public Square, which is adjacent to the city’s entertainment district.
The casino, which is within minutes of Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse (Cavaliers), Progressive Stadium (Indians), the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and FirstEnergy Stadium (Browns), offers 1,600 slots with denominations from 1 cent all the way up to $500 per spin, as well as nearly 100 table games including Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, and several poker variants. In addition, poker players can grind it out in the 30-table poker room, which hosts games (hold’em, Omaha, 7-Card Stud, and Razz are all offered) around the clock.

: 100/200, 200 ante
Action on the table folded around to Steve Wilkie who limped in from the hijack and Eric Grave raised to 1,300 from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Wilkie who took a look at Grave's stack and three-bet all in. Grave tossed his last 5,000 in the middle and the two players tabled their hands.
Eric Grave: 
Steve Wilkie:
It was a flip but Grave didn't receive any help from the 
flop.
The 
turn was no help either and Grave needed to pair one of his overcards to stay alive.
Unfortunately, the river was the sending Grave out the door.
