Day 1c of the MSPT Season 15 Ameristar East Chicago $1,110 Main Event attracted 251runners, which along with 1a's 94 and 1b’s 179 brought the total field up to 524 entries, blasting past the $300k guarantee.

The field generated a $508,280 prize pool, paying the top 56 players with the eventual winner walking away with a six-figure first-place prize, along with the Main Event trophy.

At the end of the third and final flight, the hard stop of 27 players was reached with 22:16 remaining in Level 15 and when chips went into the bags it was Timothy Thorp who collected the most with 622,000, edging out Andy Hammell (612,000) for the overall top stack.

MSPT Hall of Famer Umut Ozturk was able to catch some steam as well taking 469,000 into Day 2 to add to his POY points while MSPT champ Lee Rzentkowski (460,000), and Nic DiTrapani (429,000) rounded out the top five stacks of the flight.

They were joined by Janae Magnuson (422,000), Tim Mulroy (384,000), MSPT champ Chris Moon (368,000), Mike Estes (247,000), and Asa Snyder (231,000).

Among those not as lucky at the felt included September’s runner-up Miguel Martinez, last year’s third-place finisher Mike Puccio, Kevin Maahs, and Nicola DiTrapani all had their final day cut short while two-time MSPT champ Chris Meyers and MSPT Hall of Famer Josh Reichard fell without a Day 2 berth as well.

The surviving players from all three flights – of which there are 56 (10 from Day 1a, 19 from 1b, and 27 from 1c) – will return at 11:00 a.m. local time on Sunday, November 24th to play down to a winner.
