The Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) returns to The Venetian Resort Las Vegas this weekend from Feb. 10-12 for MSPT Poker Bowl VI. The tournament features two opening flights, a $500,000 guarantee, and a Day 2 finale on the Saturday before the Big Game.
The sixth MSPT Poker Bowl will offer two flights on Feb. 10-11 at 11:10 a.m. PST, with a Day 2 finale kicking off at 11 a.m. on Saturday, February 12. The event takes place as part of the Deepstack Extravaganza Series, a regular fixture at the popular Venetian Poker Room.
Players in the $1,100 buy-in event will start with 25,000 in chips and the levels will last 40 minutes. Registration is open for the first nine levels in each of the opening flights. Day 1a will play down to approximately 11% of the field, or until the end of Level 15, whichever comes first. Day 1b will stop at the same point and surviving players from both flights will combine into Saturday’s Day 2 at 11 a.m. PST.
Season 13 Continues
Season 13 of the MSPT makes its first trip to Las Vegas after Kyna England’s Player of the Year victory in 2021. The Chicago-based poker player wrapped up Season 12 with a big win at December’s MSPT Minnesota Poker Open that helped her become the first female to win MSPT’s popular year-long Player of the Year points race. England will have the opportunity to defend her title at multiple stops throughout the country in MSPT's 13th season.
