Two flights down, one to go: It’s time for Day 1c of the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Venetian $1,100 Main Event.
The third and final starting flight presents the next opportunity for players to earn their seats for a Day 2 birth.
Tuesday’s first starting flight saw 385 entries take to the felt while yesterday's Day 1b saw another massive 405 added to the tally, bringing the two-day total up to 790.

Levels will be of 40 minutes in length with a 15-minute break coming after every two hours. A 60-minute dinner break will take place after Level 9 and late registration/re-entries will remain available until the start of Level 10. Players are allowed unlimited re-entries until that point.
As for the happenings on the first two days, Day 1b chip leader Jason Bral (757,000) leads the way with WSOP bracelet winner Ethan 'Rampage Poker' Yau (521,000) currently second in chips. So far, over half of the 88 players currently on the Day 2 bagged north of the chip average and one last group of players will try to add their names to the list today.
