The start of 2020 brings the beginning of another year of poker tours, one of the most popular of which is the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT). While many other tours focus on California and Nevada, Florida and New Jersey, the MSPT brings reasonable buy-in tournaments to the middle of America.

When the MSPT began in 2009, it was the Minnesota State Poker Tour, a much more local series. But the tour quickly expanded into Iowa and other nearby states, as players were clamoring for deepstacked tournaments with mid-level buy-ins at their local casinos and cardrooms. The tour did just that and offered low-level buy-in satellites, solid structures, and guaranteed prize pools.

The MSPT happily expanded to meet the needs of all players but mostly the “weekend warriors,” those who played poker on a recreational basis. With most events scheduled around weekends, more players could get involved.

Season 10 just wrapped in December 2019. Anthony Dunne won the season finale tournament at Canterbury Park for $155,288. Mike Shin of Wisconsin was the Player of the Year and won a $10K buy-in to the WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas for 2020.

To date and through Season 10, the MSPT has awarded $101,352,563 in prize money in its history. And on that milestone-setting note, Season 11 is ready to get underway.
