Angelina Rich Becomes First Woman to Win MSPT; Takes Down Venetian Event for $215,815

The 2015 World Series of Poker isn't the only game in town. From June 1-5, the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) was in town for their second-ever stop at The Venetian. The tournament boasted a $1 million guarantee, but that was nearly doubled as a whooping 1,964 entrants turned over three starting days to create a prize pool of $1,964,000.

The tournament attracted some of the biggest players in the world, including Spanish powerhouse Sergio Aido and Season XII World Poker Tour World Champ Keven Stammen.
