Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Day 1b of the $300,000 Guaranteed, $600 Main Event at Run It Up Reno IX saw a cool 420 entrants hit the felt, all in search of a Day 2 bag. Vincent Newland held over 700,000 in chips at one point before settling for a Day 1b chip leading bag of 582,000, well ahead of Day 1a chip leader Brett Gordon and his 455,000 chip stack.

Newland's day started off strong, as he picked off a bluff in Level 7 (400/800/800) to begin his reign near or on top of the chip counts, and Newland would stay there for most of the rest of the day. He was able to send Ricky "ratedGTO" Guan home just a few spots shy of a cash, but dropped down from his peak shortly after the knockout before bagging up for the evening.

Other stacks of significance to make it through to Day 2 from today's flight include Jeff Newman (547,000), Jesse Sylvia (475,000), Jamie Kerstetter (188,000), Garry Gates (181,000), and WSOP Bracelet winners Jeremy Pekarek (377,000), Alex Epstein (307,000) and Kevin Gerhart (185,000),

Defending Run It Up Reno Main Event champ Dan O'Brien was unable to advance, falling an hour short of the end of the day. Joining him on the rail were poker vloggers Jaman Burton and Johnnie Moreno, two-time Run It Up Reno IX Final Tablist Lucas Hill, Run It Up Reno IX Thursday Thrilla champ Ashley Sleeth, and Katie Lindsay.

The 760 total entrants mark the largest ever Main Event in Run It Up Reno history, besting the previous largest Main Event by 100 entrants. All 123 players are guaranteed a four-figure payday, as 123rd will pay $1,000. Players able to make it to Monday's final table of nine will be guaranteed $6,750, and the eventual champion will walk away with $66,000 and the beautiful Run It Up Reno trophy. You can find full payout information in the "Payouts" tab above.
