MSPT Iowa State Poker Championship Heads to Riverside Casino July 21-24
Level 24
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
The Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) will be heading to Riverside Casino in Iowa later this summer for the MSPT Iowa State Poker Championship running June 30-July 24.
The Iowa State Poker Championship will culminate with the $1,110 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em Main Event, which is set to run July 21-24 and will feature a guaranteed prize pool of $300,000.
In addition to the marquee Main Event, the Ohio State Poker Championship will feature a number of satellites and a few no-limit Hold'em side events.
The MSPT Iowa State Poker Championship Main Event could easily surpass the $300,000 guarantee if the event draws a big enough turnout. Last year's MSPT Iowa State Poker Championship attracted 928 entries to generate $898,660 in prize money.
The three starting flights will take place July 21-23 with players getting a starting stack of 25,000 in exchange for their buy-in. Day 2 will commence on July 24 and will play down to a winner, who will take home the biggest piece of the prize pool and the MSPT championship trophy.
Beginning June 30, there will be a number of satellites running to give players a chance to win a Main Event seat for as low as $70 or $265.
There will also be a few side events, including the $135 buy-in Thousandaire No-Limit Hold'em event that gets underway on July 23.
Closing out the MSPT Iowa State Poker Championship will be the $360 buy-in Last Chance Showdown, which will take place on July 24.
In July 2021, it was Timothy Gundrum who bested the record-setting field in the 2021 MSPT Iowa State Poker Championship to take home the MSPT trophy and a career-best $170,769.
Gundrum won the event outright after defeating Jim Erickson during heads-up play, who himself earned six figures with a score of $105,143. PokerNews was on-site to report on the 2021 MSPT Riverside Main Event and got to speak to Gundrum about his career-best tournament score.
"This feels so surreal," Gundrum said after the tournament. "It's the best poker I've played in my life (over a sustained two-day period)."
After the MSPT Iowa State Poker Championship, it will be off to Grand Falls Casino in Sioux Falls, South Dakota for the $1,110 buy-in Main Event from August 19-21. PokerNews will be covering both the Iowa and South Dakota Main Events, so be sure to follow along.
