Day 1c is complete with 75 players bagging chips for Day 2 and 23 players getting Day 1 payouts. Michael Lim bagged the big stack from the final flight and it was enough to push Day 1a leader Sunny Lubana off the top spot but Lim and Lubana are the only players bringing a million or more into Day 2.
Rauno Tahvonen, Glenn Baker, Sarath Samakasekera, and Gordon Wong round out the 1c top five counts. I spotted two former champions in today’s field. Nicholas Teeuwen won the May 2024 Main and the first, and so far only, player from outside Alberta to bag a Calgary Main, was the final player to collect a cash on Day 1c, but Cody McKay, who won the first-ever Main Event ring in Calgary bagged more than 20 bigs for Day 2.
See below for a look at all the advancing stacks as well as the Day 1c Payouts.
