Mark Hodge Leads MSPT Player of the Year Race Heading Into Final Stop of Season 6

There is only one stop remaining in Season 6 of the Mid-States Poker Tour – the MSPT Canterbury Park from December 4-13 – and MSPT Player of the Year race is coming down to the wire.

Right now, Mark Hodge sits atop with 3,540 points, but with a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool at Canterbury, the stop will award a minimum of 1,200 points (more likely 1,400-1,500 depending on the size of the field). That means a slew or players have a chance to catch Hodge.

Here are things stack up heading into the finale:
