Day 1c of the $1,650 HPT Main Event saw a staggering 328 entries enter the field to combine with the 103 from Day 1a and the 157 from 1b to make 588 total entries for the tournament. That high total creates a prize pool of $855,540 with 63 players guaranteed the money with a min-cash being worth $3,067. The winner is slated to take home an astounding $191,723 top prize.
At the end of the day the chip leader was Mike Comisso with 513,000. His large stack is still some distance behind Day 1b chip leader Adam Friedman, who bagged an outrageous 807,000, and it also trails Day 1a chip leader Brian Frye, who sits at 537,000.

Some notable players who will not be playing Day 2 after busting 1c are four-time HPT Champion Greg Raymer, Hae Yim, Karam Dhillon, current HPT POY points leader Greg Wood, David "The Maven" Gutfreund, and Igor Ioffe.
Those moving on will combine with the survivors of Day 1a/b to create an exciting Day 2 which will begin at 11 a.m. on Sunday with 94 players returning to action. The start of the day average stack will be 187,650 with play beginning at level 16 with blinds at 2500/5000/5000.

: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
The board read 
and Seat 2 was facing a tough decision from Howard Calderon who had shoved all in for about 66,000.

which was in the lead versus Calderon's 
.
The turn was an innocuous 
but the river was not so innocuous as the 
fell to save Calderon with the winning set of nines.
