Reigning MSPT Meskwaki Champ Josh Meyer in the House

Back in July, Josh Meyer bested a 401-entry field to win the 2019 MSPT Iowa State Poker Championship here at Meskwaki Casino. The victory was good for $85,241.

"This is just amazing. I feel like I’m dreaming," Meyer said after the win. "I’ve been playing for a decade and I know how rare it is to get to a final table let alone win one so twenty years from now I’ll be able to say I’m an MSPT champ!”

When asked what he was going to do with the big payday he said: “I’m pretty sure I’m going to be paying off my wife’s student loans and I just got a new car so some of it will be going there, the rest will probably go into a savings account. I’m an actuary by trade so I’m pretty boring.”

Meyer has returned to Tama, Iowa and is looking to go back-to-back here in MSPT Main Events at Meskwaki.
