The Third and Final Flight is Set to Begin
The RunGood Poker Series Horseshoe Casino $675 buy-in, $100,000 guaranteed Main Event in Council Bluffs, Iowa, is down to its last starting Flight. Right now, the field stands at 315 entries (149 from Day 1a and 166 from 1b), which means the guarantee has already been smashed.
There is a little overlap with Day 1b, which began at 12:00 p.m. local time, and we'll switch our coverage to Day 1c just as soon as its predecessor concludes. The plan for the night is to play 13 levels (12 of which will be 30 minutes, and the last one 45 minutes), and we expect to see a slew of players take their final shot at Day 2.
Among those to player either Day 1a, 1b, or both — who may or may not fire again — are Wisconsinites Josh Reichard and Ben Wiora; World Series of Poker bracelet winner Eric Rodawig; RunGood Downstream champ Saied Moradi; and of course representatives from RunGood Gear including team members Bernard Lee, Jordan Morgan, Bryan Campanello, Clint Tolbert, and Justin Gardenhire.
One RunGood Ambassador we won't see today is Ryan Tepen. That's because the Missourian finished Day 1a with a stack of 330,000, which was enough to make him the Day 1a chip leader. He will return at 12:00 p.m. local time alongside all the Day 1 survivors to play down to a winner, who will receive a nice payday as well as a $10,000 seat into the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event. Before that happens though, there's still one more flight to play out.
Cards will be in the air shortly, so stay tuned!

RundGood Poker Series Downstream champ Saied Moradi was firing a third bullet on Day 1c, but he busted early on. He can still reenter if he wants, but only time will tell if he goes that route.

Good Start for Sanders
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Michael Sanders is no doubt hoping to follow in the footsteps of his fellow RunGood Ambassadors Ryan Tepen and Joe Hebda, the Day 1a and 1b chip leaders respectively, by bagging up the biggest stack in the room. There's still a lot of play before that will happen, but he's certainly off to a good start.
In a recent hand, five players paid 500 each to see a 
flop. Three checks saw an older gentlemen move all in for 6,550, and Sanders, the preflop raiser, put in a call. The three checkers folded, and the cards were turned up.
Sanders: 
Opponent: 
Sanders was ahead with top pair, but his opponent had a gutshot straight draw to go with his middle pair. The 
turn didn't change anything, and neither did the 
river. Sanders held and laid claim to yet another pot.

Show Me the Mohnen
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Four players put in 1,800 each preflop to see a flop of 
. The player in the big blind checked, and that opened the door for Jared Mohnen to bet 3,300 from early position. The player in the hijack folded, Saied Moradi did the same from the cutoff, and the big blind though long and hard before releasing his cards. Ship a small one to Mohnen.
