With 410 entries recorded in Day 1c of the $600 Deep Stack Kick Off, 52 players are guaranteed to finish in the money, each earning a $1,200 min-cash.

But a payday is only half the battle.

The 117 players still in contention are chasing one of just 33 Day 2 seats, with only the last 33 players standing set to bag chips at the end of the night.

Those survivors will join the 47 players who advanced from the opening two flights, along with whoever makes it through Day 1d, which is currently underway.

Players who fall short today still have one final opportunity to make Day 2, with Day 1e and Day 1f set to play out on Saturday before the surviving fields combine on Sunday.
