For the second time this season, the MSPT traveled to the beautiful mountainside of Black Hawk, Colorado, and players have been inside Bally's Casino, duking it out over the past week for the 2026 Colorado Poker State Championship!
In Event #6: $200 NLH Nightly, a 191-player field took to the felt as night stalkers and generated a $30,560 prize pool that was paid out to the top 21 players.
Among those to cash but fall before the final table were Erin Rosebaum (10th Place - $889), Lauren Miller (12th Place - $889), Matthew Langford (13th Place - $702), Sea Kim (16th Place - $608), and Devin Weinburg (19th Place - $562).
Coming out on top was Colorado native James Rodriguez, who came out on top with the lion's share of the prize pool and claimed his first Gold Card!
