$1,100 Main Event
Day 1b Started
For the fourth year in a row, the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) and The Venetian in Las Vegas have joined forces to offer a tournament over the NFL’s Super Bowl Weekend.
Day 1b of the $1,100 buy-in Poker Bowl IV starts today and features a $1,000,000 guarantee. Day 1b will take place at Noon local time while Day 1c will follow at the same time on Friday, January 31. The surviving players from all flights will then return for Day 2 at 11 a.m. on Saturday, February 1 and play down to a winner.
That ensures players will be free on Sunday so they can enjoy Super Bowl LIV, which will see the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers on February 2 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
The entirety of the tournament, which will feature 40-minute levels and start players with 25,000 in chips, will be live reported here on PokerNews.

“For the seventh year in a row, the MSPT will return to the Venetian Las Vegas,” said MSPT President Bryan Mileski. “Each year only seems to get bigger and better, and we’re expecting that to continue in Season 11 beginning with the Poker Bowl IV. Unless you’re at the game itself, there’s no better place to take in the Super Bowl than in Las Vegas.”
