Champion to be Crowned Today in the 2022 MSPT Deadwood Shootout!

The Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Deadwood comes to its conclusion as the final day of the $1,110 buy-in, $100K GTD 2022 Deadwood Shootout gets underway at 11 a.m. local time.

The two starting flights pulled together a total of 422 total entries, which was enough to blast by the $100,000 guarantee to generate a total prize pool of $407,840.

A total of 56 players found a bag during the two starting flights and those lucky enough to do so will be returning for Day 2 action.
Starting the day with the overall chip lead is Aaron Raap who bagged large in Day 1a and he will look to add his first MSPT title to his poker resume.

Day 2 Schedule

There will be 56 players returning for Day 2 action and only 45 spots will be grabbing a piece of the prize pool. Starting the day fairly close to the money might make for some conservative play, but judging by the first two flights the tournament should retain the action-filled play that has been up to this point.
