MSPT United States Poker Championship in San Diego Set for Sept. 15-25
The Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) is set to host an exciting event at Sycuan Casino in San Diego from September 15-25.
With over $570,000 guaranteed spread over 11 events, the United States Poker Championship will attract some large fields and large payouts. Each tournament will award a trophy on top of the money to the winners. PokerNews will be on-hand live reporting the $1,110 Main Event, a $300,000 guaranteed tournament that runs from September 22-25.
Sycuan Casino is one of the top places to gamble, vacation, and play poker in Southern California. It has become a regular and popular home for Mid-States Poker Tour action.
Schedule Highlights
The Main Event has three Day 1 starting flights scheduled, one per day starting on the 22nd. All remaining players will return to Sycuan Casino on the 25th to play down to a winner.
On September 15, the series kicks off with the $360 Mystery Bounty event, a new phenomenon in tournament poker. Players draw mystery bounty envelopes as opposed to the traditional set payout per bounty.
No-limit hold'em is the main game to be played during the MSPT United States Poker Championship, but it isn't the only game. There will be one pot-limit Omaha tournament, a one-day $250 buy-in contest with $100,000 guaranteed on September 16.
The series features an impressive mix of NLH games, including the Mystery Bounty, a $300 MSPT Tag Team Championship (September 20), and a $250 Seniors (50+) event on September 19.
Players can earn their way into the Main Event for as little as $135 via satellite tournaments on September 19 and 22 where one in 10 players receive a ticket. There will also be multiple $265 buy-in satellites available starting on the 21st.
