"So here I am, just a grinder really. I'm trying to make the most of these two MSPT events in Wisconsin this year to try to get my name out there."
Those are the words Jason Mirza told PokerNews during Season 5 of the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT), which at the time was preparing to hold stops at Ho-Chunk Gaming Wisconsin Dells and Potawatomi Hotel & Casino. Mirza finished 22nd for $2,350 at one of those stops, but it was far from a breakthrough performance.
