Day 1a of the MSPT Season 16 $1,110 Main Event at Hollywood Casino in St. Louis, MO, has come to a close after seeing 96 entrants kick things off.
Almost a full day of action was played to completion, with the hard stop of 11 players being reached with 11:27 remaining in Level 14.
The final levels were full of eliminations, which saw Jeff Kenny soar to the top of the chip counts after he eliminated Louis Salamone to lead the first batch of players into Day 2 with 514,000.
Jake Long
Closing the night second in chips was Season 16 POY points leader Jake Long, who went on a late-night heater as well to take 452,000 into Day 2.
Following behind Long was Minnesota’s Tanner Pray, who burst the bubble to put 315,000 in his bag to end the night, while Chad Fisk (264,000), Brandon Huff (263,000), Saad Ghanem (245,000), and MSPT champ Jason Mendoza (222,000) all found a Day 2 berth.
Cory Bogert
Among those to try and fall on Day 1a included Cory Bogert, Dino Galic, Jeff Grimes, Adam Thomas, and Bill Haner just to name a few.
Bill Haner
Those players, as well as any newcomers, have two more starting flights to jump back into action.
Day 1b will kick off at 2:00 p.m. local time on Friday, August 22nd, while the third and final flight, Day 1c, will take place at the same time on Saturday, August 23rd.
The surviving players from each flight will then return at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday to play down to a winner.
Join us tomorrow as we continue to bring you all the action and eliminations straight from the tournament floor at Hollywood Casino!
