Minnesota
Canterbury Park
Who’s the best poker player in Minnesota? There’s only one way to find out.
Granted, a single tournament is hardly a fair sample size, but poker players will have a chance to compete against each other for ultimate bragging rights when the second annual Minnesota State Poker Championship takes place at Canterbury April 22-26.
The main event, held Sunday, April 26, will cost $1,620 but players looking to get in on a discount will have plenty of chances to do so. There will be qualifying heats on April 22 and 23 at 7:30 p.m., and April 24 and 25 at 10:30 a.m.
There will be one-table satellites going throughout the week, with a $125 super satellite on Sunday, April 19 at 12 p.m.
