$1,100 Main Event
Day 1a Started
The Run Good Poker Series has made a return to The Seminole Casino in Coconut Creek. The main event is the sixth event played out of the nine events total being played at this stop. Not only does it have the biggest buy-in seen thus far at $1,100, but it boasts an impressive $200,000 guarantee on the prize pool, four times of what it was last time the tour stopped here.
Last summer saw 514 players enter over the course of two starting days. The main event ended in a heads up deal between Timothy Miles and Raminder Singh, each taking home $45,456 for their efforts, with the latter winning a seat to the Run Good Poker Series Pro-Am in Vegas(which Singh ended up winning as well).
Players will start out with 30,000 in chips with blinds starting at 100-100. The first 8 levels of the day will be 30 minutes long with the remaining levels of the tournament switching to 40 minutes. There is a 15-minute break after levels 4 and 8 and after that there is a break every three levels. Players who survive through the day will reconvene on Sunday at 12 pm where they will play until a winner. The players who do not make it through today will have an opportunity to try once more in the flights of 1b tomorrow and 1c on Saturday.
Raminder Singh will be defending his title and will be joining many fun and familiar faces including; PokerGo broadcastersJeff Platt and Jamie Kerstetter, Twitch streamer Drew “BetOnDrew” Gonzalez, as well as many new faces coming from far and wide.

Action was picked up four ways with 2,100 in the pot already.
The flop read and saw an early position player bet 600 when checked too. The other two players in the hand called with action getting back around to Carlos Medina who raised to 5,000. Each player thought about their decision for a bit but each one of them ended up folding, giving the pot to Medina.

Action was picked up on the river in a heads up pot with a board reading . Ian Siegel was facing an all-in bet from a player to his left for 3,600, sending him into the tank.
After some consideration, Siegel called and his opponent turned over for a pair of tens and a missed gutshot. Siegel triumphantly turned over for a pair of kings and eliminated a player very early into the tournament.
