After 9 hours in Day 1b and a little over 8 hours in Day 1c, the second and third of five starting flights of the $600 Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship came to a close today at half-past midnight. A total of 514 players entered the tournament today, but only 67 were able to navigate the field to find a bag and continue on to Day 2.
Leading both of today��s flights (as well as Day 1a) is Robert Fett who bagged a whopping 1,017,000 to return with on Sunday. Behind him is Miralem Mujkic from Day 1c with 674,000 and in third is Day 1b chip leader Adam Curchack with 557,000. Rounding out the top five is William Pinheiro (547,000) and Wilson Chan (483,000), respectively.
