Day 1c of the MSPT (Mid-States Poker Tour) $1,110 Minnesota State Poker Championship at Running Aces Casino attracted a massive 386 runners, which along with 1a's 172 and 1b’s 303 brought the total field up to 861 entries, blasting past the $500k guarantee.

The massive field generated a $833,670 prize pool and the top 90 players will get paid a minimum of $2,168, while the eventual winner will walk away with a $162,566 first-place prize, along with the Minnesota State Poker Championship trophy.

At the end of the third and final flight, 49 players bagged and tagged with Leo Fussy bagging the top stack 831,000, edging out MSPT champ Mark Jaroslawski (723,000) to take the overall chip lead into Day 2.
