Day 1c of the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Winter Poker Classic $1,110 Main Event attracted 391 runners, which along with 1a's 195 and 1b’s 280 brought the total field up to 866 entries, shattering the $500k guarantee.

The field generated a $838,520 prize pool, and the top 90 players will get paid a minimum of $2,180, while the eventual winner will walk away with a $163,511 first-place prize, along with the Main Event trophy.

At the end of the third and final flight, just 47 players bagged and tagged with Jeff Petronack bagging the flight chip lead with 547,000.

Petronack went on a late-night heater to jump Tanner Pray (543,000), Steve Houle (530,000), Han (Mike) Wang (513,000), Goran Filipovic (501,000) for the top spot as each bagged north of 500k and rounded out the top five stack.

They were joined by Mike Puccio (499,000), MSPT champ Jason Sell (478,000), March’s Main Event runner-up Rory Linton (371,000), Jason Speath (350,00), and MSPT champ Curtis Vierstraete (286,000).

All surviving players from the starting flights – of which there are 102 (22 from Day 1a, 33 from 1b, and 47 from 1c) – will return at 11:00 a.m. local time on Sunday, December 10th to play down to a winner.

The MSPT live reporting crew will be on the floor throughout the remainder of the tournament to provide updates, so keep it here to catch the action!
