For the past week, the Heartland Poker Tour has hosted a slew of side events and satellites leading up to this weekend's $1,650 Main Event here at Ameristar East Chicago, and we've taken the time to highlight some of the bigger events that took place, starting with Event #1: $350 NLH Monster Stack.

A staggering 1,114 entrants would converge on the felt over three starting flights, and 113 of them took home a payday, including Michael Ferrarotti (10th - $4,445), Alexander Hill (16th - $2,473), Jason Trezak (19th - $2,100), John Orfanos (30th - $1,832), Daniel Sepiol (64th - $1,135), Paul Bianchi (97th - $900), and Bradley Beetz (109th - $850).
