The Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) stop at Meskwaki Casino in Tama, Iowa, might not be something you'd expect to draw big numbers, but six-figure prizes are the norm there. The 409 runners for the most recent MSPT $1,100 Main Event there were par for the course at Meskwaki, and it was Keith Heine emerging as the winner Sunday night for a score of $100,981.
Heine had only about $12,000 in cashes coming into the tournament, and he had to top a tough final table that included former MSPT champs Muneer Ahmed and Dan Sun, and three-time Heartland Poker Tour champ Shawn Roberts.
