Day 1c of the MSPT $1,100 Main Event 316 at the Venetian Resort attracted 148 runners, which, along with 1a's 114 and 1b’s 77, brings the total field up to 339 entries with three more flights still to go.

Once the day was completed, just 17 players bagged and tagged, with James Mordue bagging the top stack with 960,000, good enough for second overall for Day 2.

Another player to catch steam throughout the day was Josias Santos, who ended the night with an impressive 691,000 stack to put into his bag, while Victor Fryda (628,000), Ken Einiger (460,000), and Elvyn Bello Santos (450,000) rounded out the top five stacks of the flight.

They were joined by Oli Sankiewicz (329,000), Michael Linster (310,000), Ken Bidinger (308,000), and WSOP bracelet winner Ian O’Hara (166,000), as each will be returning for Day 2 action.

Among those not as lucky at the felt included Jim Agate, Matt Salsberg, MSPT Champ Peter Brown, Justin Young, Michael Rossitto, and 2006 WSOP Main Event Champ Jamie Gold.

All who have yet to advance will have three more starting flights to jump back into the action, with Day 1d already underway.

The final two starting flights will then take place tomorrow, Monday, July 13^th, with Day 1e starting at 10:10 a.m. and Day 1f (turbo) starting at 6:10 p.m.

The surviving players from each flight will then return at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14^th, and will play down to a winner.
