RunGood Ambassador Joe Hebda Leads Surviving Day 1b Players
Day 1b of the RunGood Poker Series Horseshoe Casino $675 buy-in Main Event in Council Bluffs, Iowa attracted 166 entries, which along with Day 1a's has brought the field up to 315 and demolished the $100,000 guarantee – and there's still tonight's Day 1c flight to go!
After 13 levels of play, just 32 players survived the Day 1b fray including chip leader Joe Hebda, who bagged up 323,000. That's just shy of his fellow RunGood Ambassador, Ryan Tepen, who bagged 330,000 on Day 1a.
Plenty of notables took a shot in the Day 1b field only to fall in the massacre. Those players included RunGood Ambassadors Ross Bybee, Bernard Lee, and Bryan Campanello; RunGood Poker Series Downstream champ Saied Moradi; and three-time WSOP Circuit ring winners Stephen Kats. We expect most will try again in the third and final starting flight.
The Main Event, which will award the eventual winner a nice payday as well as a $10,000 seat into the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event, continues with Day 1c, which is happening now. Follow updates from that flight by clicking here.
