Despite showing up in full force, only one sole RunGood Ambassador, Corey Paggeot, managed to find a bag in today’s Day 1b flight. Kyna England and RPGS Player of the Year frontrunner Brian Winter also bagged healthy stack that they will be putting to work tomorrow.

Not all were fortunate enough to see tomorrow, including the rest of the RGPS Ambassadors Jamie Kerstetter, Taylor Howard, Scott Stewart, and Kyle Kitagawa, along with Conrad Simpson.

Flight 1a ended earlier than the following two flights. Play ended with 22:54 left in Level 14 with blinds at 3,000/6,000 and a 6,000 big blind ante. The 53 surviving players will start playing again on Sunday, February 25 at high noon. After the completion of Level 14, the levels will increase to 40-minute blinds, with a 15-minute break after every three levels, with play continuing until a new champion is crowned.
