Field
Field

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. If the field shapes up like yesterday, the tournament will have a prizepool of at least $800,000.

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. Players expected to fire today include Christopher Moon, Dan Bekavac, Nicholas Rigby, Daniel Sepiol, Adam Friedman, Kyna England, and Allen Kessler.

Players will start out with 25,000 chips with the starting level of 100/100 and a big blind ante of 100. Levels will escalate every 40-minutes with a ten minute break after every three levels, with a 40-minute dinner break after level 9. Late registration will remain open until the beginning of level 13. The day will finish up after 15 levels, or after the field has reached 12% of the remaining players. The players who make Day 2 on Sunday will play with 27:52 left of play in level 15, unless today’s flight ends earlier. Stay tuned to PokerNews for all of the updates on the MSPT $1,100 main event.

Action was on Bazeley who led out for 5,000 and after some time in the tank, his opponent raised to 10,500. Bazeley put the calling chips in his hand and contemplated his decision before eventually tossing them in to hear "good call," from his opponent.

His opponent showed {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a missed straight flush draw and Bazeley turned over {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for jacks and fours which was good enough for the pot.
