The $300,000 Guaranteed Main Event will offer two starting flights beginning with Day 1a at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 21 playing 15 levels. Day 1b will take place at the same time on Saturday, Feb. 22 and also play 15 levels. The surviving players from each flight will then return at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 23 to play down to a winner.
Last February’s $1,100 Main Event at Canterbury Park saw 479 entrants take to the felt in search of a $99,573 first-place prize. After two days of play, it was Bemidji's Matt Kirby that recorded the victory, earning his record-tying third MSPT Main Event title, tying him with Carl Carodenuto and Blake Bohn for the most Main Event titles in tour history.
Most recently in December at Canterbury Park, the Season 10 Finale cruised by its $500K guarantee by attracting 802 entries, and after a long Day 2, it was Anthony Dunne coming out on top to capture a $155,288 first-place prize.

MSPT Regs Around the Poker Room
Hinton Catches His Card on the River
Level 7
: 300/600, 600 ante
A late-position player went all in for their last 3,000 in chips. Only having about 10,000 more, Clyde Hinton called the raise from the small blind position. The player in the big blind saw how short Hinton was and went all in as well for 40,000, easily covering Hinton. Hinton begrudgingly made the call and all of the cards were turned over.
Clyde Hinton: 
Late-Position Opponent: 
Big Blind: 
The 
board put Hinton in last place, but the 
river changed his fortune.
As Hinton pulled in his new chips, another player at the table remarked, "Let's just say you were drawing pretty slim on the turn."
Hinton chuckled as he stacked his chips up nicely.
