Cards are in the air for Day 1a of the MSPT Venetian $1,100 Main Event with 76 entrants registered so far. Many more are expected throughout the day with nine levels of registration available.
The 2021 Mid States Poker Tour (MSPT) is back in Las Vegas for the MSPT Venetian $1,100 Main Event and the Venetian Poker Room will play host to three days of action from September 4-6. The guaranteed prize pool of $500,000 will be at stake with two opening flights on Saturday and Sunday and the finale on Monday.
The MSPT previously visited Las Vegas this Summer for two main events. Harlen Miller of Bismarck, North Dakota beat a field of 2,790 entries to win the MSPT Venetian $1,100 Main Event in early June and later that month Chance Kornuth outlasted 2,011 entries to take down the MSPT Venetian $1,600 Main Event. Many MSPT regulars are expected in the field today to compete for the $500,000 guarantee.
Day 1a begins at 11:10 a.m. local time and is the first of two starting days, with Day 1b taking place on Sunday September 5 at 11:10 a.m. The final day of the tournament will take place on Monday September 6 with the surviving fields from Day 1a and Day 1b meeting at 11:00 a.m. Players will start with 25,000 in chips and blinds open at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante. Players will take a 15-minute break every three levels and a 60-minute break at the end of level nine. Levels will be 40 minutes long.
Play will continue on Day 1a until 11% of the field remain, or until 15 levels have been played. Registration will be open until the conclusion of the dinner break that follows Level Nine, which will be around 6:40 p.m. Players can re-enter as many times as they wish until late registration closes.
Stay tuned all day long as PokerNews will be on the floor to bring you all the action as it happens.
