Day 1A of the MSPT Meskwaki Main Event drew 194 runners but after 15 levels of play just 28 remained with Zac Campbell as a massive chip leader. The 791,500 he bagged was unprecedented and made it the largest opening flight stack in the history of the MSPT by roughly 200K!

Others to bag and tag were Pierce Acuff (310,500), Taylor Howard (308,000), Greg Jennings (261,000), and recent WSOPC ring winner Mo Nuwwarah (207,500), who round out the top five stacks.

Others to advance were MSPT Season 4 Ho-Chunk champ Josh Reichard (187,000), MSPT Season 2 Running Aces champ Jason Seitz (130,500), Scotter Clark (99,500), Dustin Dirksen (72,000), Sherry Hammers (70,500), and Dave Rutledge (19,000).

Of course, not everyone was fortunate enough to survive. Among those to fall on Day 1A were 2018 MSPT Iowa State Poker Champ Brian Soja, former RIU Reno champ Blake Cavanagh, Dan “DQ” Hendrickson, MSPT Hall of Famer Kou Vang, WSOP bracelet winner John Reading, and former MSPT Meskwaki champs Blake Bohn, John Sun, Ken Komberec.

Day 1B will kick off at 3 p.m. local time on Saturday. Before it, there will be one final $250 Satellite (20% advance) starting at 10 a.m.
