FireKeepers Casino and Hotel in Battle Creek, Michigan, is nearly equidistant from Chicago and Detroit.

The most common game in the poker room $1/2 no-limit hold'em, with multiple tables running 24 hours a day.
Flying into the area is easy, with big airports in Lansing, Detroit, and Chicago, as well as a fine airport in Battle Creek itself. Located right off Exit 104 from Highway I-94, driving to FireKeepers is also simple and fast from anywhere in the area.
The PokerNews Mid-States Poker Tour will make its first-ever stop at FireKeepers March 2 through 10, 2013. The lavish poker room will host weekly $250 MSPT Qualifiers every Tuesday at 7 p.m. from Feb. 5 until the big show rolls in – the top 20 percent in each Qualifier will earn a $1,100 Main Event seat. The Main Event, which will run March 7 through 10, will include three Day 1 flights. The final table will be broadcasted live on PokerNews.com with hole cards.
“Firekeepers is a very friendly and active room,' said professional poker player and MSPT ambassador Chris 'Fox' Wallace. 'I'm originally from Michigan and still pass through often, so I've been to FireKeepers a number of times. You’ll want to get there early on weekend nights to avoid a wait.
'Definitely my favorite card room in Michigan,' he added. ' I'm looking forward to seeing some family and old friends when we visit FireKeepers this March.”
