Maryland State Poker Championship Taking You to Las Vegas
The Maryland State Poker Championship promises to be one of the most exciting poker festivals on the East Coast this year, with 13 days of action and more than $1,000,000 in guaranteed prizes.
The crowning jewel of the Championship will be the $2,200 Main Event, but a number of other tournaments with buyins ranging from $400 to $1,650 promise to make the festival worth a visit for recreational and professional players alike.
The Maryland State Poker Championship will be an exciting series in itself, but the opportunity to win a seat at the upcoming NAPT event will make it that much more interesting for hundreds of players who will be looking forward to the opportunity.
A total of three Gold Passes will be handed out in the following events:
- $2,200 Main Event
- $600 NLH Multi Flight
- $400 6-Max Championship
The MSPC Main Event will offer an opportunity to win a PokerStars Gold Pass by winning the event, with the champion getting their seat in the NAPT event directly.
The Gold Pass given away in the $600 NLH Multi Flight event will go to an online qualifier, with the online qualifier who lasts longest in the event receiving the Pass.
Finally, the third Gold Pass will go to the player who eliminates one of the PokerStars Ambassadors who will be competing in the $400 6-Max Championship event.
In total, that’s three opportunities to win a valuable NAPT package at the MSPC in events with affordable buyins and multiple online qualifying opportunities.
What Is a PokerStars Gold Pass Worth?
A PokerStars Gold Pass is your ticket to Las Vegas, but you may still be wondering what exactly it entails and what you will be playing for.
Whether you win your Gold Pass at the MSPC or through one of the many online qualifiers, it will include the following:

- $1,800 in cash for travel costs
- 7 nights accommodations at Resorts World
Gold Pass winners will receive a true VIP treatment for the NAPT stop, including a stay at the luxurious Resorts World in Las Vegas, the venue of this year’s NAPT festival.
Your entry to the $5,300 NAPT Main Event will be secured, along with $1,800 in cash, which you can use to pay for your travel costs and not spend a dime of your own money on the trip.
