The second and final starting flight of the MSPT Season 17 Grand Falls $1,110 Main Event is in the books after the hard stop was reached in Level 17 (5,000/10,000/10,000).

Day 1b drew another 139 runners during Saturday's action, bringing the grand total to 254 entries and generating a $244,880 prize pool.

Of the 139 runners, just 16 of them remained when chips went into bags, with Minnesota’s Heidi Roggenkamp leading the charge with 627,000, good enough for the overall Day 2 chip lead.

Following behind Roggenkamp was Season 17 POY points leader Mike Wilklow, who was able to end the night with a healthy 564,000, while Sriram Sitaraman (546,000), Bandith Praseutkoun (400,000), and Dana Muse (267,000) round out the top five stacks.

Others to punch their tickets to Day 2 were MSPT Champ Siphonh Tran (258,000), Jason Crews (249,000), fellow MSPT Champ Curtis Vierstraete (191,000), reigning Player of the Year Jacob Long (187,000), and MSPT Hall of Famer DQ Dan Hendrickson (144,000).

Among those to try and fall on Day 1a included MSPT Hall of Famer Rob WazWaz, Matt Alexander, two-time MSPT Champ Angela Jordison, Howard Dion, and defending Champ Aaron Johnson, to name a few.

Day 2 will get underway bright and early at 11:00 a.m. local time and play to a winner with players returning to the felt, so make sure to come back and find out who walks away the new MSPT Grand Falls Main Event Champion!
