The Final Two Flights of The RunGood Poker Series Reno Main Event Begin Today.
With a hefty $150,000 guarantee, The Rungood Poker Series sees its biggest event’s second leg kick off today at The Atlantis Casino in Reno, Nevada. A total of 122 players saw their way into the first pair of flights yesterday, with only 14 surviving into the second day.
Leading the way is Steve Nevius who bagged 603,000. Nevius is no stranger to tournament poker, holding $129,058 in Hendon Mob earnings. He has cashed in two prior RGPS events, with a third place in last year’s iteration of the Seniors event at Reno. Rounding out the podium is Brittney Barnes (574,000) and Day 1b’s chip leader Andrew Fredericks (454,000). Others who found their way to a bag included Sarah Sherman (191,000), Levi Klump (160,000), Rory Lucero (148,000), and defending champion Stacey Berger (128,000).
