Raymer Leads Charge into Day 2 of RunGood Baltimore Main Event!
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
After around 15 levels of play in the RunGood Poker Series Baltimore Main Event, flights Day 1b and 1c have wrapped up with 19 players remaining (10 from b, 9 from c). They will now combine with the four players from Day 1a and all will return tomorrow at 1 p.m. for the Day 2 finale that will play down to a winner.
Leading the charge will be WSOP Main Event Champion Greg Raymer, who managed to bag a whopping 717,000 after scoring a double knockout late in 1a. This makes it the second RunGood stop in a row that a WSOP Main Event Winner has held the chip lead going into Day 2 as Chris Moneymaker did the same in Tunica last week.
Following close behind him in second is Roy Kim, the Day 1c chip leader with 509,000, and in third is Day 1a chip leader Ari Katz with 416,000. Rounding out the top five is Josh Verdu with 398,000 and James St. Hilaire with 392,000.

There were 196 total entries in this event to produce a prize pool of $200,000 but unfortunately, no RunGood Ambassadors were able to claim a piece of it as each fell to the wayside. Valiant efforts were given by Ben Ludlow, Chris Conrad, Anna Antimony, Dan Lowery, and even Tana Karnchanakphan himself but they were no match for the Baltimore gamble.
The 23 remaining players will return tomorrow at 1 p.m. and play will start with 17:49 left in Level 14 with blinds at 3,000/6,000/6,000. They will then battle it out until a RunGood Baltimore champion is crowned and adorned with the signature RGPS ring.
Stay tuned tomorrow for all of the live updates brought to you exclusively by PokerNews!
