Foremost among them chip-wise is Issac "Rungood" Tucker, proprietor of iNinja poker series, who will open a bag containing 237,000 in chips.
Other notables remaining in contention include RunGood Pros Justin Gardenhire (215,000), Duma Lowery (130,000), Jose Montes (98,000), and Julie Anna Cornelius (63,000). Steve Pham (166,500), Alex Gunhus (115,500), Drew Woodke (70,000), Colin Perry (66,500), Mark Fink (59,500), former RunGood Council Bluffs champ Henry Gingerich (38,000), and Ryan Phan (33,000) also threw chips in bags over the last couple of days.
