After four long hard-fought days of poker, all Day 1âs of the
Mid-Stakes Poker Tour $1,100 (1.5M GTD) Main Event have come to an end. Today, it was
Max Corcoran from Arizona who stood tall among the many after bagging 548,500 in chips.
Day 1d began play with nearly 500 entrants and steadily increased up until late registration ended â coming in at a total of 1,233. By the dayâs end, that number had dwindled to fewer than 200.
Taken altogether, Day 1a through Day 1d had a combined total of 2,790 entries. This brings the official prize pool to $2,692,350 â well beyond the $1.5 million guarantee.
A total of 297 players will cash, with a min-cash being worth $2,423 and the eventual champion taking home a cool $367,801.
