Welcome to the Final Starting Flight of the MSPT Running Aces $1,110 Main Event
Two flights down, one to go: It’s time for Day 1c of the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Running Aces $1,110 Main Event.
The third and final starting flight presents the next opportunity for players to earn their seats for a Day 2 birth.
Thursday’s first starting flight saw 225 entries take to the felt while yesterday's Day 1b saw another 282 added to the tally, bringing the two-day total up to 507.
Just like the yesterday's starting flight, cards will be in the air at Noon local time and players will start with a stack of 25,000.
Levels will be of 40-minutes in length with 10-minute breaks coming after every two hours. Late registration/re-entries will remain available until the start of Level 13 and players are allowed unlimited re-entries until that point.
As for the happenings on the first two days, Day 1a saw the emergence of the top stacks as Robert Michener (729,000) leads the way thus far as the only player north of 700k while 2014 MSPT Running Aces champ Mark Sandness (692,000) and 2016 MSPT running Aces cham Jeremy Dresch (680,000) are the only other players that eclipsed the 600k mark.
So far, a little less than half of the 58 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.

|---|---|---|
| Day 1a | 225 | 25 |
| Day 1b | 282 | 33 |

PokerNews Podcast: Texas Road Trip Highlights & Spotlight on Doyle Brunson
Level 1
: 100/100, 100 ante
In the latest PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen discuss their recent road trip across the Lone Star State as a part of PokerNews' Texas Week, which you can read about in full here.
Along with senior writer Jon Sofen, the trio spent six days traveling to 26 different poker rooms in Houston, Austin, Odessa, Midland, Fort Worth, Dallas, and College Station. They also swung by Doyle Brunson's hometown of Longworth as well as Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, where "Texas Dolly" attended college and excelled at both basketball and track.
In addition to exploring rooms such as Texas Card House, The Lodge (where they touched base with Doug Polk), KoJack's, Red Star Social, Shuffle 214, Wautauga Social Lounge, Poker House Dallas, and Game On Social, the crew also stopped by some historical poker sites, such as the graves of Poker Hall of Famers Jack "Treetop" Straus and Johnny Moss.
The Texas poker market has grown leaps and bounds over the past five years, and if you've ever wanted a glimpse into what it's like, this week's episode is for you!
