$575 Main Event
Day 1b Completed
The second of three starting flights is over and 33 players have booked their seats in Day 2 of the RunGood Poker Series Kansas City $575 Main Event.
The field for Friday's flight drew 164 runners and at the end of the day it was Shawn Privat who bagged the biggest stack with 274,000. Josh Turner made a last-minute run for the chip lead.
Shortly before the players bagged, Turner played a huge pot against Tom Hudson. Hudson said he opened and then called Turner's three-bet shove with pocket kings. Turner had jacks, but made a flush and took down the massive pot — eliminating Hudson.
A few of the more recognizable players in the field made it through. PokerNews podcast and Big Blind host [Removed:139] bagged 36,000 and Kevin "Kevmath" Mathers, the WSOP Twitter Czar and most likely everyone's favorite twitter follow, bagged 67,500. Kevmath was responsible for eliminating Barstool Nate after the latter lost with tens against aces to leave himself short.
The third and final flight of the RGPS Kansas City $575 Main Event will start tomorrow at noon. All the updates and photos for the entire tournament can be found right here on PokerNews.com.
