MSPT 100 Grand Stack

MSPT returns to Sycuan Casino Resort in Southern California for Main Event 326 and the 2026 100 Grand Stack Series. The formal tournament schedule runs September 29 through October 4, highlighted by a $1,110 Main Event with a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.

MSPT currently lists Sycuan as its San Diego-area stop, although Sycuan Casino Resort is physically located at 5469 Casino Way in El Cajon, California.

The official Event 326 tournament schedule and structure packet has been published by MSPT.

September 28 or September 29? Understanding the Series Dates

Current official tournament sources support September 29 through October 4, 2026 as the formal 100 Grand Stack tournament schedule.

MSPT's current event calendar lists the Sycuan stop for September 29 through October 4, and Sycuan's own MSPT 100 Grand Stack promotion uses the same dates.

A separate MSPT lodging announcement previously used September 28 through October 4. The tournament schedule referenced by MSPT, however, places the formal Gold Card series beginning September 29.

Pre-series Main Event qualifiers may take place before the formal festival dates and do not change the September 29 opening date of the scheduled Gold Card series.

⠀

What Is the MSPT 100 Grand Stack?

The 100 Grand Stack is an MSPT tournament-series format built around a deep-stack Main Event and supporting Gold Card tournaments.

For the September 29–October 4 Sycuan stop, MSPT currently promotes 10 Gold Card tournaments and Main Event 326.

The current Event 326 packet confirms a 100,000-chip Main Event starting stack in both the schedule grid and the detailed Event #6 structure sheet.

The previously reported starting-stack discrepancy is resolved in the current official packet. Players should still check the event-specific structure rather than assuming a stack from the series name alone.

⠀

Main Event 326

The centerpiece of the series is MSPT Main Event 326, a $1,110 No-Limit Hold'em tournament with a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Current published Main Event information includes:

• Buy-in: $1,110

• Guarantee: $100,000

• Starting flights: Three

• Level length: 40 minutes

• Late registration: Through Level 12, closing at the start of Level 13

• Re-entry: Unlimited until the start of Level 13

• Day 2: Sunday, October 4 at 11 a.m.

• Added first-place prize: $3,500 MSPT Championship Main Event seat

• Starting stack: 100,000 chips, confirmed in both the schedule grid and Event #6 structure

The $1,110 Main Event and $100,000 guarantee are independently confirmed by MSPT's current promotion for the Sycuan stop.

⠀

Main Event Starting Flights and Day 2

The current Event 326 schedule lists three Main Event starting flights:

• Day 1A: Thursday, October 1 at 2 p.m.

• Day 1B: Friday, October 2 at 2 p.m.

• Day 1C: Saturday, October 3 at noon

• Day 2: Sunday, October 4 at 11 a.m.

The schedule currently states that registration and re-entry remain available until the start of Level 13.

The published structure also states that each Day 1 flight plays down to a defined percentage of its starting field before survivors advance to Day 2 already in the money.

The Event 326 material further describes a restart procedure under which Day 2 resumes at the earliest finishing point reached by the starting flights before the surviving fields combine.

Check the official MSPT schedule and structure packet before traveling for any updates to flight times, advancement rules or restart procedures.

⠀

$100,000 Guarantee

Both MSPT and Sycuan currently advertise a $100,000 guaranteed Main Event prize pool.

The guarantee refers to the minimum advertised prize pool for the tournament. It does not mean that $100,000 is paid to first place. Final payouts depend on entries and the tournament's payout structure.

The current official packet confirms both the $100,000 guarantee and the 100,000-chip Main Event starting stack.

⠀

Gold Card Events

MSPT currently promotes 10 Gold Card tournaments for the September 29–October 4 Sycuan series.

The schedule includes the $1,110 Main Event along with supporting No-Limit Hold'em tournaments and qualifying opportunities.

Rather than relying on an abbreviated event list, players should use the official schedule for the complete lineup, starting times, buy-ins, stacks and any last-minute revisions.

⠀

Satellites and Main Event Qualifiers

MSPT has published qualifying opportunities for the $1,110 Main Event, including qualifiers scheduled before the formal September 29 opening of the Gold Card series.

The current Event 326 material also lists satellite opportunities during the festival.

Satellite buy-ins, starting stacks, registration periods and award formulas vary by tournament, so players should check the corresponding structure sheet rather than assuming every qualifier uses identical terms.

⠀

Added $3,500 MSPT Championship Seat

MSPT currently advertises an added $3,500 MSPT Championship seat for the winner of the Sycuan Main Event.

The seat is separate from the Main Event's cash payout.

MSPT's current promotional material identifies the Championship seat as being added to first place. Players should review the official Event 326 structure packet for the applicable transfer, travel and lodging conditions.

⠀

Tournament Structures and Registration

The Event 326 packet contains the schedule and individual structure information for the series.

The Main Event is listed with 40-minute levels, reduced to 30 minutes heads-up or when a deal is made. Published Event 326 information states that late registration and unlimited re-entry are available until the start of Level 13.

The current schedule grid and detailed Event #6 structure agree on a 100,000-chip Main Event starting stack.

Tournament terms can be amended by the operator, so the official MSPT schedule remains the controlling pre-event source.

⠀

Sycuan Casino Resort and Poker

Sycuan Casino Resort is located at 5469 Casino Way, El Cajon, California 92019.

MSPT markets the stop to the broader San Diego market, but players traveling to the event should plan for an El Cajon/Dehesa Valley destination rather than a downtown San Diego casino.

For general room information, cash games and property-specific poker details, see the Sycuan Casino Resort Poker Room Guide.

⠀

Where the Tournament Is Played

The official event promotion identifies Sycuan Casino Resort as the tournament property.

The currently accessible MSPT and Sycuan web pages reviewed for this update do not identify a specific internal ballroom, poker room or event-space assignment for every tournament in the series.

Players who need the precise tournament-room location for arrival or accessibility planning should confirm the location with Sycuan before the event.

⠀

Parking and Getting There

Sycuan Casino Resort is located east of central San Diego at 5469 Casino Way in El Cajon.

Players driving to the property should allow additional time for local traffic, particularly before Main Event starting flights.

Parking, valet and transportation policies can change, so visitors should confirm current property information directly with Sycuan before traveling.
