Day 1c of the MSPT500 Series Main Event at Running Aces Casino & Racetrack was the largest of the three starting flights, attracting another 205 runners, and brought the total field tally up to 499 entries, shattering the $150k guarantee.

The massive field generated a $210,575 prize pool with a min-cash paying of $939, while the eventual winner will walk away with a $44,870 first-place prize, along with the MSPT500 Series Main Event Gold Card!

At the end of the third and final flight, just 23 players bagged and tagged, with Abraham Awaijane securing a double against John Mcnee in the final hand to end the night with 528,000, edging out Joe Listle (524,000) in the final flight.

Joseph Colombo had himself a rollercoaster of a day, which eventually ended up with him running up an impressive 487,000 stack, while Steven Veres (482,000) and Andrew Veiga(387,000) rounded out the top five stacks of the flight.

They were joined by Varkey James (378,000), WSOP bracelet winner Mike Wilklow (356,000), Jeff Petronack (323,000), Eric Eelkema (145,000), and MSPT Champ Derek McMaster (75,000).

Among those to try and fall on Day 1b included Arlo Strozewski, Paul Carney, MSPT Champ Brian Landon, Matt Alexander, and Jason Bailey, just to name a few.

The surviving players from all three flights – of which there are 55 (13 from Day 1a, 19 from 1b, and 23 from 1c) – will return at 11:00 a.m. local time on Sunday, May 10^th, to play down to a winner.
