One flight is in the books at RunGood Poker Series Downstream, and that means two more remain, both of which will be played today. Each flight will be identical to Friday's Day 1a, with 12 levels playing out, each lasting 30 minutes. Breaks will be given every four levels. Each player will start with 20,000 in chips and blinds will begin at 25/50, escalating from there until players bag after 1,200/2,400/400.
Day 1a saw Joey McCaig finish with the biggest stack as he put 171,000 in the bag, and some notable names like Chris Conrad, Ray Henson, and Will Berry also survived.
Many players fired and missed yesterday, including Mike Tang, Amanda Baker, Justin Gardenhire, and former RunGood champ Ross Bybee. We expect to see them back giving it another go today. Tang is seeking a win here after coming in second last fall to champ Mark Martin, who has yet to make an appearance here at Downstream's Main Event.
Cards are scheduled to fly at noon for Day 1b, and 7 p.m. for Day 1c, so it will be a long day of poker filled with plenty of live updates.
