A lengthy day of 16 levels has wrapped up during the MSPT $1,110 Main Event at Ameristar Casino Hotel with 10 of 94 entries making it through to Day 2.

Once the hard stop was reached in the last level, only 15:27 remained when Oliwer Sankiewicz put 487,000 in his bag to edge out MSPT champ Curtis Vierstraete(475,000) & Brad Sailor (467,000) for the top spot to lead the 10 advancing players.

Rounding out the top five stacks were Dillon Ellis (367,000) and Chris Thiel (267,000), while Timothy Gordon (257,000), Daniel Marshall (221,000), Jamie Eisenhut (130,000), Michael Kamenjarin (75,000), and Joseph Saltanovitz (68,000) all punched their ticket into Sunday’s Day 2.

Of course, not everyone was fortunate enough to make it through the night. Among those to fire and fall in Thursday’s flight were MSPT Hall of Famer’s Pat Steele, Josh Reichard & Aaron Johnson, two-time MSPT champ Chris Meyers, MSPT champ Dan Goepel, and Joe Batterman.

Those players, as well as any newcomers, have two more starting flights to jump back into action.

Day 1b will kick off at Noon local time on Friday, November 22^nd while the third and final flight, Day 1c, will take place at the same time on Saturday, November 23^rd.

The surviving players from each flight will then return at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 14^th to play down to a winner.
