The tournament director has stopped the clock with 9:55 to go in Level 12 and instructed the dealers to deal three more hands to complete the action in Flight C. At the conclusion of those hands, the remaining players will bag up their chips and return at noon tomorrow for the Day 2 restart.
When bagging is complete, we'll update all the chip counts and publish the Day 2 redraw.
A total of 136 entries were recorded in Flight C and at the end of Day 1 play, 23 players advanced to Day 2. Nic Petree bagged up the chip lead in Flight C with 283,000 chips, good enough for the second-most heading into Day 2 behind chip leader Craig Dick (309,000). Kyle Chance (258,000) and Joey McCaig (212,500) finished second and third in chips, respectively, of the players who bagged at the end of Flight C.
Flight C's 23 survivors will join the 44 other players who advanced from the first two flights for Day 2. In all, this weekend's RGPS Showbound Main Event saw 372 players enter, with 67 returning at noon on Sunday to play down to a champion. 45 places will be paid with $42,781 going to first. The ten players who reach the final table will also be entered into a season-ending invite-only freeroll satellite at Hard Rock Tulsa for a pair of $5,000 Sit & Go seats to be on Poker After Dark in Las Vegas.
The Day 2 seat redraw is being prepared and will be published shortly.

Flight B's end-of-day chip leader Eric Kelly flew under the radar for most of the flight and then came out on top in a clash against another big stack, bagging up 194,000 chips at the end of the day. Kurt Haiss (177,500) and James Traber (174,000) rounded out the top of Flight B's leaderboard.
Nic Petree made a run at the overall chip lead during the final Day 1 flight of the Main Event, but fell just short by bagging 283,000--good for the second spot on the Day 2 standings. Petree amassed the bulk of his stack in a huge multi-way pot. Petree held
