The MSPT may be hosting our 100th Main Event this weekend here in Iowa, but there’s also a $360 Regional taking place at Black Hawk, Colorado.
Next weekend, the highly-anticipated MSPT Golden Gates Main Event will kick off. That event will feature three starting flights beginning with Day 1a at Noon local time on Thursday, March 30. Days 1b and 1c will then be held at the same time on Friday, March 31 and Saturday, April 1 respectively. The remaining players from each flight will combine on Sunday, April 2 at 11:00 a.m. and play until a champion is crowned.
The last time the MSPT visited Golden Gates, Carl Carodenuto topped field of 490 entrants to in his record-breaking third title, not to mention a $114,072 first-place prize. Before that, in April 2016, 439 entrants turned out for the Main Event to more than double the guarantee. Josh Crain emerged victorious in that tournament to capture a $102,199 first-place prize. Before that, Phanora Prom topped a field of 510 entries in November 2015 to win the title and $123,180.
Others past winners of the MSPT Golden Gates include Kane Lai, who topped a field of 409 entries to win the March 2015 Main Event for $101,365; Reza Yazdi, who outlasted 499 other entrants to win the November 2014 Main Event for $120,765; and Dan Colpoys, who won $114,156 after emerging victorious over a 453-entry field in March 2014.
