MSPT Satellite Saturdays start this weekend

With two Minnesota State Poker Tour events on the horizon — Running Aces in April and Northern Lights in June — the MSPT is launching Satellite Saturdays.

Beginning this Saturday, March 27, MSPT hopefuls can play $60 single table sit ‘n go satellites all day, every Saturday, at Running Aces Harness Park and Northern Lights Casino. The satellites at Running Aces feed into the April 7-11 MSPT event, and the satellites at Northern Lights feed into the June 9-13 MSPT event.

The format is simple. A sign-up sheet will be available in each cardroom ALL DAY every Saturday, and once 10 players sign up the SNG will begin. Top two will earn a $250 MSPT qualifier seat.

The Minnesota State Poker Tour has held two events since launching in December, 2009, and the winners of each event have taken home $34,000 and $36,000 respectively.
