Leading the way is Asa Snyder who ended the final flight with 600,000. The Wisconsin native is currently searching for his first MSPT cash and has put himself in prime position to do so. A deep run in this event will be a huge win for the large contingent of Wisconsin players that are remaining in the tournament.

Rank	Player	Chip Count
1	Asa Snyder	600,000
2	John Maras	567,000

Defending champion Craig Trost survived the day to bag up 197,000. With a healthy stack, the defending champion looks to put his name on the list of two time MSPT main event champions. Another win could help his MSPT Player of the year prospects, especially when Josh Reichard (282,000), Miles Barnum (260,000) and Dan Bekavac (92,000) have all made Day 2 and will add to their points the deeper they get into the tournament.

The 96 will return on Sunday at 11 am. The clock will return to 10:10 left on level 14 with blinds at 2,000/4,000 and a 4,000 ante with 10:10 left on the level.
