As the MSPT Festival unfolds, Thursday, March 12 marks the beginning with Event #1: $250 Monster Stack NLH, a challenge designed for the brave at heart. The narrative continues over the weekend with a variety of events, culminating with the $1,110 buy-in, $200,000 GTD Main Event. This epic challenge commences its first chapter at 2 p.m. local time on March 13, inviting intrepid souls to enter the fray with 30,000 in chips, battling through 40-minute levels until one emerges victorious, crowned as champion.
