Day 1c Top Five Chip Counts
| Rank | Player | Hometown | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
| 1 | Michael Rossitto | Brooklyn, NY | 662,000 | 83 |
| 2 | John Compton | Sumter, SC | 390,000 | 45 |

| 4 | Mohammad Bagheri | Dallas, TX | 317,000 | 40 |
| 5 | Jennifer Abad | Ocala, FL | 302,000 | 38 |
Behind him was John Compton with 390,000. Compton made most of his chips when he was all in and at risk a couple of levels before the day ended. His pocket kings hit a set against the pocket aces of Cody Ross, who ended the day with 101,000 after that blow to his stack.
Winston Djonli was thrilled to see the bubble burst as he will enter Day 2 with just 67,000, which will most likely be under ten big blinds when the levels are finalized.
Also bagging and in fourth place of the flight was Mohammad Bagheri with 317,000. Bagheri won Event #5: $600 Mystery Bounty $300,000 Guaranteed of this series and will look to get his second win of the series when he returns on Wednesday.
The 15 players will move on to Day 2 on Wednesday and join all the other advancing players from the other five flights. Payouts will be available after the remaining three flights are played.
PokerNews will continue with coverage of Day 1d tonight and Days 1e and 1f tomorrow.
