Wisconsin player wins Mid-States Poker Tour Meskwaki Main Event

The Mid-States Poker Tour Meskwaki Main Event at the Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel began with 405 entries (195 Day 1a; 210 Day 1b), which surpassed the $300K advertised guarantee by creating a $405,000 total prize pool. After three days, it was Wisconsin's Ken Komberec who finished as the last player standing to capture a $93,922 first-place prize.

Interestingly, Komberec's win comes just four months after his best friend, Iowa State Poker Champ and current MSPT Season 7 Player of the Year points leader John Sun, won his MSPT title at Meskwaki. Komberec, a 40-year-old poker player and proprietor of Midwest Sports Investors, was on the rail for that one, so it was only fitting his buddy was there for him.

"Feels good. I don't play in a lot of these, so it feels great," Komberec said after the win. "John won here in July. Hopefully you'll keep having us back. We'll be playing some more tournaments in the next six months for sure."
