Main Event Day 1b | 2019 RunGood Poker Series Kansas City

Joe Walters, who graduates next week, is looking to spend this week taking down the Run Good Poker Series Kansas City Main Event. He took the first step and bagged the largest stack (284,000) ahead of 28 others during Day 1b of the $100,000 Guarantee main event.

Today's flight drew 151 players, bringing the total entries so far in the tournament to 273. Walters leads the way, but Jeremy Tinsley is not far behind with 143,500. Tinsley most recently chopped the RGPS Bossier City Main Event earlier this month for $27,224.

Pokernews Podcast host [Removed:139] jumped into the game at the registration deadline after going to the Kansas City Royals game and failed to bag for the second flight. Meanwhile, Chris Horter found a bag after hopping in late as well. He advanced with 39,500.

Several of the Run Good Ambassadors who are still looking for a spot in Day 2 are expected to join the field in the final flight Saturday at noon for Day 1C.
