Welcome To Day 1a of the MSPT Riverside $1,100 Main Event
The 2021 Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) continues this weekend to the great state of Iowa for the MSPT Riverside $1,100 Main Event. After a successful inaugural visit to Riverside Casino in March that saw Daniel Sepiol top a field of 862 entries for a massive first-place prize of $162,750, the MSPT looks to make another strong showing to continue its summer's worth of events.
Friday marks the first of two starting flights and play is set to get underway at 3 p.m. local time. Plenty of MSPT regulars are expected to make their way to Riverside from throughout the country, including Kyna England, Michael Berk, Alex Winter, Jonathan Kim, and Todd Melander.
Players will receive starting stacks of 25,000 with blinds beginning at 100/100 and increasing every 40 minutes throughout the entirety of the tournament. Fifteen levels are scheduled for Day 1a play, unless 12% of the field is reached prior, with breaks occurring at the completion of every three levels, or two hours of play. Late registration is open until the beginning of Level 13 at approximately 11:40 p.m. local time with one re-entry available per flight should players wish to use it.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on the floor all day long bringing you updates on all the action, so be sure to stick around.
