The third and final flight of the 2019 Colorado Poker Championship $1,100 Main Event is officially in the books after 10 full hours of play on Saturday night. The day started with 160 entries, bringing the three-day total to 360, and saw 29 players remaining when it was time to put chips in bags.

Leading the way are Jay Jesse (425,000) and Tanner Stiverson (412,000). Jesse was seen with a stack in the 200,000s during the last level of the night and continued to chip up from there until play finished. Stiverson had a large stack throughout the day, chipping up to nearly three starting stacks shortly after the second break. He continued to build as the day went on, consistently trending up towards his resting total for the evening. The two find themselves in second- and third place, respectively in the combined chip counts behind Wendy Freedman (597,500)

Rounding out the top five in chips are Bobby Sanoubane (336,500), Patrick Suzuki (294,000), and Johnathan Dempsey (241,500). Other notable players to advance include Nick Pupillo (147,000), Ruth Graham (140,500), and defending champion Mike Itoafa (85,000).
