An incredible 187 Day 1b entries continued to build the Rungood Series Tulsa $600 Main Event prizepool well over its $100,000 guarantee, with Preston Roberts and Yahya Aamer each bagging 483,000 chips.

In total, five players bagged over 400,000, but the overall chip lead heading into Sunday remains with Day 1a chip leader Marsha Adams and her stack of 596,000 chips.

Day 1b Action

While Day 1a wrapped up rather quickly in the middle of level 13, the second of three flights needed to go into level 15, with hand-for-hand play ending play with eight minutes remaining in the level.

It was at that point that Roberts eliminated Dustin Messner on the bubble when Messner was forced all in on the big blind after losing a significant pot to RunGood ambassador Kris Burchfield who advanced to Day 2 as a result.

It was certainly an eventful day of play with Poker Hall of Famer Scotty Nguyen making an appearance to play in the flight. Unfortunately for the “Prince of Poker”, his time in the tournament was short-lived as he never built his stack much above its starting point and he was eliminated by Clayton Soliz.

Among the other notables to bust in this flight were popular poker commentator and recent emerging tournament crusher Jeff Platt who fell near the bubble.

One Last Chance to Make it to the Dance

Players have one final chance to advance to Day 2 in Saturday’s evening flight. After that, the three groups of surviving players from each flight will converge for Sunday’s Day 2 at noon local time.

PokerNews will have all the action until a champion is crowned Sunday at the incredible Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tulsa.

Messner Bubbles; Final 24 Bag Up

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Dustin Messner
Dustin Messner

After losing most of his stack when he doubled up Kris Burchfield with ace-queen against Burchfield's ace-king, Dustin Messner was all in in the big blind versus Josh Bozarth in the small blind, Raymond Beck in middle position, and Preston Roberts in late position.

On the {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop, action was checked to Roberts who bet 21,000. Only Bozarth called.

The turn brought the {j-Hearts} and both players checked.

They also checked the {a-Clubs} river and the hands were revealed.

Bozarth showed {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} for a losing pair of eights, Roberts showed {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for two pair and Messner showed {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a losing pair of fives which sent him to the rail on the bubble and the remaining 24 players on to Day 2.

Stay tuned for complete chip counts and a recap of the Day 1b action.
