Potawatomi to Host 2019 Wisconsin State Poker Championship

 

From November 11-17, the MSPT will be in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the penultimate stop of Season 10. It’s there that the 2019 MSPT Wisconsin State Poker Championship will play out. The $1,100 buy-in, $300K GTD Main Event will offer three starting flights beginning with Day 1A on Thursday, November 14.

The 1B and 1C flights will be held on Friday, November 15 and Saturday, November 16 respectively. The surviving players from all flights will return at 11 a.m. on Sunday, November 17 and play down to a winner.

The Main Event final table will be broadcast LIVE (15-minute delay) worldwide on msptpoker.com using RFID technology allowing all viewers to see the hole cards. In addition, the entirety of the Main Event will be live reported in the MSPT's live blog.

In November 2018, the MSPT Wisconsin State Poker Championship attracted 748 entries to Potawatomi Hotel & Casino. That surpassed the 701 entries from the 2017 MSPT Wisconsin State Poker Championship to become the largest major poker tournament ($1K+ buy-in) in state history.

It was 27-year-old Brett Halan, a logistics account manager from Naperville, Illinois, who finished as the last player standing for $144,812. It marked the third year in a row a player from Illinois walked away with the MSPT Wisconsin State Poker Championship title.

The 2017 MSPT Wisconsin State Poker Championship - which drew 701 entries - was won by Rich Bai, who had previously made three MSPT Potawatomi final tables. He finally broke through with a win for a career-high $139,086.

Potawatomi Poker Room will host several additional cash tournaments the days leading into Main Event weekend including $360 NLHE, Tag Team Switch, Seniors, $240 Super Stack, NLHE 8-Max, PLO 8-Max and a $580 Last Chance tournament.
