Day 1c of the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Ameristar East Chicago $1,110 Main Event attracted 252 runners, which along with 1a's 115 and 1b’s 189 brought the total field up to 557 entries, blasting past the $300k guarantee.

The field generated a $538,790 prize pool, paying the top 63 players with the eventual winner walking away with a six-figure first-place prize, along with the Main Event trophy.

At the end of the third and final flight, the hard stop of 30 players was reached with 29:00 remaining in Level 14 and when chips went into the bags it was Zach Heiman who collected the most with 741,000, edging out Casey Bogus (701,00) for the overall top stack.

Rounding out the top five stacks of the final flight were Anthony Palmer (623,000), inaugural Ameristar third-place finisher Mike Puccio (557,000), and Arthur Zabronsky (478,000).
