Josh Reichard has claimed his third Major Series of Poker: The Tour (MSPT) title, taking down the Season 17 Iowa Poker State Championship at Riverside Casino near Iowa City. The $1,110 buy-in event drew 549 entries, and Reichard outlasted the field to secure a payday of $111,942.
The win comes just a month after Reichard captured his first WSOP gold bracelet this summer, continuing a hot stretch for the Wisconsin pro. Reflecting on his recent success, Reichard credited a run of good fortune, joking that he considers himself one of the luckiest players in poker.
Reichard, already inducted into the MSPT Hall of Fame, expressed particular pride in adding to his tour resume, noting that MSPT is the circuit he supports and plays most frequently. He said he hopes the victory helps cement his standing among the tour’s elite.
Along with the six-figure score, Reichard earned a seat in the $3,500 MSPT Championship Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open, scheduled for Nov. 18 through Dec. 2 at Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida. He also picked up 1,700 Player of the Year points, moving him into third place on that leaderboard.
Notably, Reichard’s deep run included eliminating his own father, Brett “Pops” Reichard, in 13th place for $6,397. The hand occurred in Level 22 when Pops shoved short from the small blind holding K♠8♣, only to run into his son’s A♣K♣ after a four-bet isolation. The board brought no help for Pops, ending his tournament at his son’s hands.
Other notable cashes included Andy Rogowski (10th, $7,996), Gerald Cunniff (17th, $5,331), and John Reading (24th, $3,891), among others rounding out the final tables.
