There is only one stop remaining in Season 6 of the Mid-States Poker Tour – the MSPT Canterbury Park from December 4-13. The stop will feature a series of qualifiers that will culminate with a $200,000 guaranteed $1,100 buy-in Main Event from Friday, December 11 through Sunday, December 13.

That tournament, which only requires participants to be 18 years old to register, is the last chance for players to accumulate coveted Player of the Year Points. Right not, Mark Hodge sits atop with 3,540 points, but with a $200,000 guarantee at Canterbury, the stop will award a minimum of 1,200 points (more likely 1,400-1,500 depending on the size of the field). That means a slew or players have a chance to catch Hodge, who recently spoke to PokerNews about holding the lead. You can read about that by clicking here.

"Canterbury Park has always served as the MSPT's season-ending stop, and it never seems to fail that the POY race comes down to the wire while there," said MSPT owner and operator Bryan Mileski. "This year is no different, and we can't wait to see who comes out on top."

Of course the PokerNews Live Reporting team will be on hand to capture all the action from that event, which means players will have the opportunity to use the MyStack app to update their hands and chip counts straight into the live blog.

"The MSPT has reached the culminating event of another successful season, and there’s going to be plenty on the line at Canterbury Park in December," added PokerNews Editor-in-Chief Donnie Peters. "While everyone is no doubt excited about the $200,000 guaranteed prize pool that will be up for grabs, we can’t forget about the 2015 MSPT Player of the Year race that will come right down to the wire. Mark Hodge leads tour pro Blake Bohn with several others still able to win, and this one will be as exciting as ever to watch play out."

The last time the MSPT was at Canterbury Park was back in April when Dan "DQ" Hendrickson topped a field of 430 entrants to capture the $106,182 first-place prize. That created a $430,000 prize pool — more than double the guarantee — and similar numbers are expected for the latest stop.

Here's a look at the MSPT Canterbury Park schedule:

The Main Event will be held over three days beginning Friday evening with Day 1a at 4 p.m. Day 1a will play 14 levels. Saturday's Day 1b will start at 4 p.m. and also play 14 levels. Players who advance from Main Event Flight 1a to Day 2 are not eligible to play in Flight 1b. The remaining players from each flight will combine on Sunday morning at 11:00 a.m. and play until a champion is crowned. The Main Event final table will be broadcast LIVE (15-minute delay) worldwide on msptpoker.com using RFID technology allowing all viewers to see the hole cards.
