New MSPT Chips and Tables
Level 4
: 200/400, 400 ante
To say a lot of preparation went into the debut MSPT Showdown Series at Sycuan Casino would be an understatement. Both the tour and venue have been working together for months to bring players a great festival, and part of that called for investing in brand new MSPT-branded tables and chipset.
Here's a look at both...

Level 4
: 200/400, 400 ante
The preflop action escaped us, but we do know that a player got their stack all in and was at risk, albeit primed to double, through Aaron Knapp.

Opponent: 
Knapp was on the wrong end of the cooler but got lucky when the flop came down 
to give him a set.
Neither the

river changed a thing and Knapp collected the pot while sending an opponent to the rail.

Level 4
: 200/400, 400 ante

.
Souza checked, Woodworth moved all in for 16,500, and the former leaned back in his chair.
"I knew you were going to do that," said Souza, who put together chips as if he was going to call.
He must've though better about it though as he eventually sent his cards, pocket jacks, to the muck face up.
Woodworth obliged him and showed for the bigger pocket pair.
"I knew it was going to be a ten-high flop," a relieved Souza said.
