Almost a full day of action was played to its conclusion at the 2023 Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) FireKeepers $1,110 Main Event after a hard stop was reached with 30:19 remaining in the final level.

The second of three flights drew a whopping 895 entries to bring the two-day total thus far to 1,475, blowing past the $1,000,000 GTD with one flight remaining.

Of those 896 entries, only 105 players remained when chips went into bags with Mike Monicatti (894,000) edging out Michigan's Finest Shkelzen "Scott" Gocaj (835,000) for the top stack this flight, good enough for second overall thus far.

Rounding out the top five stacks of the day were Jimmy Fuller (617,000), Marc McHugh (501,000), and Nick Snkolnik (498,000).

Much like Day 1a, the final level of the night saw an onslaught of casualties, with players such as MSPT Hall of Famer Rob WazWaz among those to be eliminated before play concluded for the night with chips flying all across the remaining tables in the final level of play that led to a lot of players riding roller coasters with their stack sizes before becoming official for the evening.

Several other familiar players will also be joining the aforementioned five. CJ Peake (351,000), Brad Sailor (266,000) and MSPT Hall of Famer Pat Steele (229,000) are just a few more of the players to add their names to the Day 2 roster along with the 69 to have already advanced from Day 1a.

The final starting flight will get underway tomorrow at Noon local time, and it will be the last chance for players to punch their ticket into Sunday's Day 2.

Late registration and re-entries will remain open through Level 12 (approximately 9:10 p.m.)

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