Day 1c of the $1,100 Main Event No-Limit Hold’em at JACK Casino In Cleveland Ohio begins today, Saturday May 7th at 12 PM. The final flight of what is shaping up to be one of the biggest Ohio poker tournaments of all time, already sees a total number of entries at 528. The $500,000 prize pool has been met and exceeded, meaning that this whole flight will be adding on top of the guarantee.

Last night saw Hal Rotholz bag the chip lead with 517,000 chips. The New York native will be looking to add to his over $800,000 in lifetime earnings with a deep run here. MSPT Riverside runner-up Jamie Allen also bagged big with 446,000 chips and is looking to top his finish from a few weeks prior. 45 players made it last night out of the 375 entrants and time will tell whether or not this flight will receive more entrants.
