MSPT Tournaments will have 100K guaranteed prize pools
Is there a better way to spend your weekend than winning your share of $100K? I don’t think so!
The Minnesota State Poker Tour is now Guaranteeing a $100,000 prize pool at each event. The $100,000 Guaranteed Tournament will pay out the full juicy amount no matter how many people register to play.
Because there are so few live, local tournaments these days that truly guarantee a prize pool, there may be some of you unfamiliar with what exactly this means. For example, the Main Event at each MSPT is a direct-buy of $1,000 + $100. If 60 players register, that would normally equate to a $60,000 prize pool (60 players x $1,000 buy-in). But in this instance the MSPT will pay out all $100,000. There would be $40,000 in “dead money”.
So often I hear players on the fence about whether to drive two hours to play a particular tournament because they’re not sure what the total number of entrants will be. Well the MSPT has eliminated that concern.
This guarantees a massive prize pool all the time. The first place prize will always be over $30,000, not to mention championship diamond bracelet that RF Moeller has redesigned.
We’re excited to take the MSPT to the next level. Hopefully this will help draw more players from Iowa, Wisconsin, the Dakotas, etc. They’ll now know if they make the drive they’ll not only get a ton of play with the two-day structure, they’ll get a sure shot at their share of $100,000.
The next opportunity at the MSPT $100K will be at Grand Casino Hinckley in November. The Main Event will take place November 27-28. There will, as always, be satellites and qualifiers the 7-9 days leading up to the main event. The schedule of events that week has not yet been finalized but when available will be posted on www.MinnesotaState PokerTour.com.

Outstanding.., Bryan. Will do.
Hey, I would like to ask you a question, bro.! Before each tournament starts MSPT. Is it possible for you to ask or mentioning to the future Casino hosts or hostess to elaborate to their poker dealers to lowering down a deck of cards while dealing the cards out to the players at each table? I think I’m speaking out for all of the players including myself and I wanted it to be fair to everyone that wants play and has a desire to win the money.
I had seen worst recently.
Please forgive me if I’m asking the wrong question.

I agreed, all of the dealers should have known better how to lower a deck while dealing. Some are just pure lazy’cause they’re not getting tip on any pot/hand-delt while dealing in a tournament.
Yes, in the cash games they would do a better job ’cause they’re dealing to their fasvorite players and gettin tips.
I’d seen cards all of the time in these local poker rooms and hope some of the dealers there get a better trainging.
Excellent question and comment there, 2Putts.
