Almost a full day of action occurred during Day 1B of the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Running Aces $1,110 Main Event with the hard stop being reached in Level 15 with 28:06 remaining.

The second of three flights drew 276 entries to bring the two-day total thus far to 437, closing in on the $500k guarantee with one flight remaining.

Of those 276 entries, 33 players remained when chips went into bags with MSPT champ Max Havlish bagging the top stack of the night with 442,000.

Havlish was looking good to bag north of 500k but lost a hand late to edge out MSPT Hall of Famer Rob WazWaz (404,000) for the top stack.

The top five are rounded out by Jesse Haddeland (324,00), reigning MSPT Running Aces champ Blake Bohn (319,00), and Weston Wells (306,000) who were the only other players to bag north of 300k.

Several other familiar players will also be joining the aforementioned including newly crowned MSPT Hall of Famer DQ Dan Hendrickson (296,000), three-time MSPT champ Matt Kirby (289,000), DJ Buckley (287,00), and MSPT Hall of Famer’s Kou Vang (216,00), & Jason Seitz (154,000), who add their names to the Day 2 roster along with the 18 to have already advanced from Day 1A.

All players who haven't found a Day 2 birth will get one last chance to do so tomorrow for Day 1C starting Noon with late registration and re-entries remaining open through Level 12 (approximately 9:10 p.m.).
