Another full day of action was played to its conclusion at the MSPT Season 16 $1,110 Missouri State Poker Championship at Hollywood Casino as Day 1b hit its hard stop midway through Level 16.

The second of three flights drew 204 entries to bring the two-day total thus far to 315, passing the $300k guarantee with one flight remaining.

Of those 204 entries, only 22 players remained when pens went to slips with MSPT Hall of Famer Gerald Cunniff rising to the top to put a monstrous 962,000 on his slip to end the night, taking the overall chip lead into Day 2 thus far.

Cunniff bagged over double the amounts of Cory Nazaruk (449,000), Phil Mader (446,000), WSOP bracelet Winner Greg Raymer, and Dalton Jones (416,000) as they rounded out the top five stacks of the flight.

Several other familiar players will also be joining the aforementioned five which includes back-to-back Player of the Year Umut Ozturk (214,000), Jake Long (167,000), MSPT champ Anthony Scarborough (149,000), Sherry Hammers, (142,000), and two-time MSPT champ Taylor Howard (117,000), are just a few more of the players to add their names to the Day 2 roster along with the 12 to have already advanced from Day 1a.

Among those to try and fall on Day 1b included WSOP bracelet winner Blair Hinkle, David Gutfreund, Andros Ioakimides, defending champ Jeffrey Copeland, Dylan Crawford and MSPT Hall of Famer Josh Reichard just to name a few.

The final starting flight will get underway tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. Late registration and re-entries will remain open through Level 12 (approximately 10:40 p.m.).

Make sure to tune in to see who makes it through to Day 2.
