Sometimes folks from Wisconsin are referred to as "Cheeseheads," and that's the case with Nick Owen, who hails from Reedsburg, Wisconsin. That's because he works as Saputo Cheese, though this weekend he's taken some vacation time in order to drive 12 hours out west to play the 2021 MSPT South Dakota State Poker Championship.

When he's not busy working or spending time with his teenage son, Logan, Owen enjoys hosting a weekly home game where $0.50/$1 no-limit hold'em and pot-limit Omaha are the games of choice. For the past couple of days, he's been taking in the local area, including Sturgis, riding motorcycles alongside fellow Wisconsinite, Tim Dunse.

For Owen, competing in the MSPT $1,100 Main Event is a taking a shot of sorts, and if he's managed to make the money, it'll be his first major tournament cash. Only time will tell if he's able to make that happen, and PokerNews will keep an eye on his MSPT South Dakota State Poker Championship journey.
