Flight C of Event 1 came to an end with 63 players advancing to Day 2, and the big stack belonged to Mike Graffeo, who bagged up 457,000 (91 big blinds).

There was no hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, because as soon as they got down to 64 players, another player was eliminated before all hands in progress played to a conclusion.

Action ended with 10:30 remaining in Level 16, with blinds at 3,000-5,000 with a 5,000 ante. Day 2 will begin with the blinds rolled back to the earliest finish among the starting flights.

The full list of official chip counts will be posted a little later tonight, and Flight D is already underway.
