Timothy Gundrum is the newest champion on the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT), taking down the $1,100 Main Event at Riverside Casino for a career-best prize of $170,769. Gundert topped a record-setting field of 928, which topped March's previously-set record of 862 entries to earn the lion's share of the $898,660 total prize pool.
"This feels so surreal," said Gundrum after the tournament. "It's the best poker I've played in my life (over a sustained two-day period)," he added.
Gundert came into Day 2 with a stack of 158,000, just shy of the average in the room.
