Day 1c of the MSPT Season 15 Hollywood Casino Main Event attracted 290 runners, which along with 1a's 133 and 1b’s 208 brought the total field up to 631 entries, shattering the $300k guarantee.

The massive field generated a $612,070 prize pool, and the top players will get paid a minimum of $2,170, while the eventual winner will walk away with a $125,604 first-place prize, along with the MSPT Season 15 Hollywood Casino Maine Event title!

At the end of the third and final flight, 31 players bagged and tagged with MSPT Hall of Famer Josh Reichard bagging the overall chip lead after he started catching steam in the final levels to put a whopping 1,126,000 in his bag.

Another player to catch steam throughout the day was three-time MSPT champ Carl Carodenuto who was able run up an impressive 812,000 stack, which is good enough for second overall.

Others to bag big stacks where Dalton Jones (506,000), Ryne "Pyzza" Teston (487,000), and Paul Fehlig (470,000) who rounded out the top five.

They were joined by MSPT champ Frank Covich (388,000), Casey Blakely (347,000), Trey Bartlett (275,000), MSPT champ Keith Heine (254,000), along with Cedrric Trevino (145,000) & MSPT Hall of Famer Rich Alsup (112,000).
