Day 1a Started
Welcome back to the Peppermill Resort Hotel and the 2016 Run It Up Reno festival hosted by Jason Somerville for Day 1a of the $565 Main Event!
Today marks the first of three flights of the Main Event that features a whopping $150,000 guarantee and will see a mix of locals, seasoned veterans and poker amateurs look to ascend to the top and be crowned the 2016 Champion.
Tomorrow will feature a regular Day 1b flight as well as a turbo Day 1c flight that will have just 15-minute levels and give players one last shot and making it through to Day 2.
Last year saw 318 players take to the felt to create a $159,000 prizepool where the likes of Dan O'Brien, Marty Gorenc, "Boston" Rob Mariano and Kristin Kane all snuck into the money. However, when the dust settled, it would be Nick Aguilera defeating Jesse Capps heads up to capture his first live tournament cash and win for $42,830.
