The Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) returned to Minnesota's Running Aces Casino after a five-year hiatus for the Showdown Series and the turnout didn't disappoint.
The $1,110 buy-in, $300K GTD Main Event was one to remember as a total of 920 entries (225 from Day 1a; 282 from 1b; 413 from 1c) were tallied, which blasted past the venue’s previous best field of 383 runners in September of 2017.
On Sunday, 109 players returned for Day 2 action, and after it was said and done, it was Texas native Chan Pelton, coming out on top to win the $169,271 top prize and his first MSPT title.
