Seeing an impressive 1,153 entrants, Flight 1c came to an end with just 144 after the dust settled. They will return on Wednesday June 15th where 225 will receive a piece of the $2,078,610 prize pool, with a minimum payout of $2.079 for their efforts.

At the higher end of the chip counts was WSOP bracelet winner Roberly Felicio who ended his day with 540,000 in chips. Felicio jostled with a table full of capable players, all of whom had a lot of chips, but through some fortunate timing and good plays, was able to rise above the rest towards the top of the counts. Navigating large fields is nothing new for Felicio, who’s bracelet win came in the WSOP 2018 $565 Colossus for $1,000,000 in a field of 13,070. Felicio looks to add one more trophy to his resume, in the form of an MSPT title.

Morfitt has come close to a victory before, with his biggest live cash being $115,053 for his runner-up finish at MSPT Minnesota 2021.
