Day 1C of the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Running Aces $1,110 Main Event attracted a massive 448 runners, which along with 1A's 161 and 1b’s 276 brought the total field up to 885 entries, blasting past the $500k guarantee.

The massive field generated a $856,950 prize pool and the top 90 players will get paid a minimum of $2,228, while the eventual winner will walk away with a $167,105 first-place prize, along with the Minnesota State Poker Championship trophy.

At the end of the third and final flight, 52 players bagged and tagged with Dejuante Alexander bagging the top stack 530,000, edging out Day 1a’s John Hanner (525,00) to take the overall chip lead into Day 2.

Others to bag big stacks where Dave Bashel (490,00), Jeremy Holmes (395,000), Yer Vang (393,000), and Blaise Poupore (373,000) who rounded out the top five stacks.

They were joined by Mark Fink (321,00), Alex Wheeler (305,000), Eddie Blumenthal (304,000), Nic DiTrapani (304,000), and MSPT Hall of Famer Josh Reichard (277,000).

The surviving players from all three flights – of which there are 103 (18 from Day 1A, 33 from 1B, and 52 from 1C) – will return at 11 a.m. local time on Sunday, April 2nd to play down to a winner.
