It's time for another winner to be crowned on the RunGood Poker Series here at Downstream Casino, the last stop on the tour before the season-ending RunGood Cup Championship in New Orleans.
A total of 48 runners have advanced through three starting flights to today's Day 2. Tops among them in terms of chip count is Hasan Haq, who will bring 211,500, but Terry Presley is just a hair behind at 211,000. They'll be joined by fellow big stacks Bryan Phahurat (172,500), Joey McCaig (171,000), and John Heckenkamp (169,500).
Also making an appearance will be a gaggle of RunGood Pros — Chris Conrad (142,000), Jonathan Gaviao (130,500), Ray Henson (96,500), Bernard Lee (96,000), and Julie Anna Cornelius (41,000) will all be representing the brand and fighting for victory.
Play is set to begin at noon and continue until a winner is crowned, with levels lasting 45 minutes until the final table, at which point they move to one hour. That winner will bank $25,522 along with a $2,000 Blaycation package to the aforementioned RunGood Cup Championship. All final table participants will win the packages.
Twenty-one players will cash, so the money bubble should burst fairly early in the day. Stay tuned to see how it turns out.
