Day 1c of the MSPT (Mid-States Poker Tour) Season 15 Showdown Series Bally's Black Hawk $1,110 Main Event drew 367 entries, the biggest field of all three starting flights, bringing the overall field up to 822.

The combined fields generated a $795,840 prize pool, and the top 90 players will get paid a minimum of $2,069, while the eventual winner will walk away with a $155,189 first-place prize.

At the end of the third and final flight, players bagged and tagged with Justin Chalfant bagging the overall chip lead with 592,000, edging out Angela Jordison (569,000) for the top stack.

Jordison held one of the top stacks for most of the evening while Chalfant rose to the top in the later levels of the evening, also leaping Jonathan McCray (553,000) & Chad Lousberg (542,000), who were the only other players to bag north of 500k this flight.

They were joined by Shant Marashlian (480,000), Jorge Arriola (401,000), Shane Borrilo (354,000), Loc Nguyen (300,000), and Maddie Robinson (215,000).

The surviving players from all three flights – of which there are 101 (20 from Day 1a, 32 from 1b, and 49 from 1c) – will return at 11:00 a.m. local time on Sunday, January 28th to play down to a winner.

The MSPT live reporting crew will be on the floor throughout the remainder of the tournament to provide updates, so keep it here to catch the action!
