The third of six flights has now completed in the 2019 BPO Event #1: $600 Deepstack after 16 levels of action-filled poker. The Day 1c flight sold a total of 354 registration slips and by the end of the night, only 46 remained. Bagging the biggest stick from Day 1c is Yong "YK" Kwon after picking up a heater during the latter stages of the night.

Kwon will be headed into Day 2 with 606,000 in chips, which is good for second overall after the first three flights as Sridhar Sangannagari still leads the way with his 810,000 stack that was accumulated in Day 1b.

Other big stacks from Day 1c include Shawn Stroke (584,000), Dennis Brand (399,000), Kevin Garosshen (360,000), Samuel Preis (312,000), Boris Gandman (264,000), and Carlos Guerrero (261,000).

Well-known pros and locals grabbing a Day 2 birth from this flight are Peter Walsworth (227,000), Pierre Deissler (227,000), Gino Levrini (138,000), Mike Azzaro (111,000), Jessica Dawley (95,000), Timothy Little (89,000), Allen White (75,000), and Alex Jim (69,000).

Many players took a shot here in the flight of the event and not all were fortunate enough to find a bag, that list includes Greg Fishberg, Guo Liang Chen, Lyle Diamond, David Jackson, Patrick Lacey, Nick Palma, Roland Israelashvili, and Ralph Macri.

A full list of Day 2 chip counts and seating assignments will be posted as soon as they're available.
