Day 1c of the MSPT JACK Cleveland $1,110 Main Event attracted another 361 runners, which, along with 1a's 237 and 1b’s 380, brought the field total up to 896 entries.

The massive field generated a $867,620 prize pool, and the top players will get paid a minimum of $1,800, while the eventual winner will walk away with a $163,623 first-place prize, along with the MSPT Season 15 JACK Cleveland Main Event title!

At the end of the final flight, just 43 players bagged and tagged with Christopher Mitchell bagging the top stack of 723,000, good enough for third overall heading into Day 2.

Following hot on Mitchell’s tail was Orville Arthurs Jr, who secured the final elimination of the night to take 639,000 into Day 2.

David Kenniston found new life on a different bullet and was able to bag 602,000 while MPST Hall of Famer Umut Ozturk (599,000), and Haikan Xu (598,000) rounded out the top five stack.

They were joined by Ashish Keshri (507,000), MSPT champ Richard Bai (442,000), Dan Wolf (339,000), WSOP bracelet winner Katie Kopp (277,000), two-time MSPT champ Ken Baime (155,000), and DJ Buckley (143,000).

Among previous MSPT Main Event champs who fell short one Day 1c included Lee Rzentkowski, Gerald Cunniff, and winner of February’s record-breaker Matthew Eng.
