This weekend, the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) will be at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino in downtown Milwaukee for a $1,100 buy-in, $200,000 guarantee Main Event. In reality, that guarantee will prove meaningless as the stop has a history of attracted massive fields.
For instance, back in April, the MSPT Potawatomi Main Event attracted 635 entrants, created a $635,000 prize pool, and saw local pro Jason "GrindMentality" Mirza emerge victorious to capture the $147,529 first-place prize. The time before that, the MSPT Potawatomi attracted 487 entrants, created a prize pool of $487,000, and saw Jason Zarlenga capture his second MSPT title, not to mention a $120,164 first-place prize.
