Day 1a Started
The Road to the RunGood Cup kicked off a few weeks ago at the Horseshoe in Council Bluffs, Iowa, just outside of Omaha, Neb. Brandon Fish booked the first win of the season when he topped a field of 283 and pocketed $34,267 and a trip to New Orleans for the season-ending championship.
Now, the RunGood Poker Series returns to its roots in Oklahoma for an event at Hard Rock Tulsa. Last fall, an event here drew 317 runners to blow past the $100,000 guarantee. RunGood Pro Ross Bybee took that one down as part of a four-way chop, banking more than $26,000 in the process.
The first of three starting flights kicks off at 7 p.m. local time, and players are scheduled to play 13 30-minute levels. They'll start with 20,000 at blinds of 25/50 and eliminated players may reenter as many times as they wish until the beginning of Level 9 (600/1,200/200).
Level: 1
Blinds: 25/50

Mike Tang has already made two RunGood Main Event final tables, finishing sixth here in Tulsa this spring for $8,246 and second at Downstream last fall for $22,334.
