The Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) has confirmed dates for many of their stops in 2020, which marks their 11th season. More stops are expected to be added to the schedule, and PokerNews is slated to offer live updates from nearly all events.
MSPT Heads to Colorado
Season 11 will kick off January 15-19 with a $360 buy-in, $150K GTD Regional Event at Golden Gates Casino in Black Hawk, Colorado. Situated about an hour west of Denver in a scenic mountain gully, the stop will play host to two trophy events and five Nightly $135 Deep Stack tournaments.
Last April, Aaron Frei won his first MSPT trophy after topping a 778-entry field to win the first $360 MSPT Golden Gates Regional, and amazingly he returned in November to go back-to-back by defending his title in a 915-entry field to win the second $360 MSPT Golden Gates Regional Event of Season 10 after a four-way chop, earning $36,607.
Colombia Poker Tour Bogota
The upcoming $360 Regional Event will feature four starting flights at Noon each day starting Wednesday, January 15 through Saturday, January 18. The surviving players from those flights will then return on Sunday, January 19 to play down to a winner.
The MSPT is slated to return to Golden Gates from April 13-19, during which time they’ll host a $1,100 buy-in Main Event. Visit msptpoker.com for more details.
MSPT Cleveland Poker Open January 16-19
The first Main Event of the MSPT Season 11 is the $1,110 buy-in, $300K GTD Cleveland Poker Open at JACK Cleveland Casino. PokerNews will be there to live report that tournament.
The 2020 MSPT Cleveland Poker Open – a 21 or older event – will take place January 16-19 and will be preceded by a series of $70, $145 and $265 satellites where every single satellite boasts a 10-seat guarantee. The stop will mark the MSPT’s 164th Main Event and the fourth ever at JACK Cleveland Casino.
In 2018, the inaugural MSPT Cleveland Poker Open attracted 581 entrants and saw Abdul “Dulie” Amer capture the title and $118,350 first-place prize.
The MSPT Season 10 Cleveland Poker Open last January drew 725 entries creating a $703,250 total prize pool, which made it by far the largest major poker tournament ($1K+ buy-in) in Cleveland’s history, breaking the MSPT's own record from the previous year. In the end, it was Sean Munjal who navigated the field to take down a $140,654 top prize.

Colombian Poker Tournament
There are certain drives you can take in the world where, one moment you're hurtling along an ordinary, non-descript road through ordinary, non-descript surroundings, and the next moment you burst upon something spectacular. Along Interstate 15 from California to Nevada, for example, miles of brown desert suddenly give way to the glitter and spectacle of Las Vegas as the freeway bends past an outcropping of rock that keeps the city hidden from sight.
Medellin, Colombia has Las Vegas beat. Nestled in an Andean mountain valley about an hour's drive from the international airport, Medellin secretly waits for newcomers to reach a nearby mountain ridge before jumping out with a sprawling jumble of buildings, streets and lights that traverse the length of the valley floor.
The PokerStars.net Latin American Poker Tour was a newcomer to Medellin last October during Season 4. The first-ever LAPT in Colombia, the Colombian National Poker Championship, drew the largest field ever assembled in 4+ seasons of the LAPT. Tables were jammed into every conceivable space on the floor of the Allegre Casino in an effort to accommodate all players; Day 1b sold out early on Day 1a.
Although the LAPT announced a cap of 660 players, with alternates the field rose to 681 players. They played down over three very long days of play until Argentina's Julian Menendez, a 2011 WCOOP final tablist, defeated local Jonathan Monsalves heads-up to claim the first Colombian poker title.
The LAPT enacted changes for the Season 5 iteration of the Colombian National Poker Championship. The buy-in was raised from the Colombian peso equivalent of $1100 to $2500; the player cap was lowered to 600, providing more space on the floor in between tables; and Tournament Director Mike Ward added an extra day of play. The 14-hour days of last October should give way to a more LAPT-typical 10-to-12-hour day this time around.
The road map for LAPT events is well-known to long-time readers of this blog. We'll split the field into two starting flights, one playing today and one playing tomorrow. They'll combine on Friday for Day 2, when we'll burst the money bubble. Day 3 will find the in-the-money players jockeying for chips and a spot at Sunday's final table. And Sunday, of course, one person will wind up with all of the chips.
Like that drive along Interstate 15 in Nevada or the road from the airport here in Medellin, we know where we're going and we know what's waiting for us at the end of the trip. Along the way, however, we expect a couple of fantastic surprises to burst into view as we crest the ridges and traverse the valleys of big buy-in tournament poker as only the LAPT can.
