Welcome to Day 1b of RunGood Horseshoe Council Bluffs
The first of three starting flights is in the books at RunGood Horseshoe Council Bluffs, the conclusion of the RunGood "Ignite the Night" spring series. That means two flights remain, and both will be played out today, with the first one starting at noon local time and the second one kicking off at 7 p.m.
Last night, Day 1a ended with RunGood pro Justin Gardenhire busting Chunlei Yuan in a huge pot to bag up the chip lead among the 13 players who made it through. Today's flights will also presumably end with 12 minutes remaining in Level 13 (1,500/3,000/500).
Players will begin each flight with 20,000 in starting chips and blinds at 25/50. Levels will last 30 minutes and players may reenter as many times as they wish up until the start of Level 9.
Some of the players taking shots and bricking on Day 1a included RunGood Pros Jose Montes and Ryan Tepen, as well as Ryan Phan, Fish, Duane Gerleman, Jeff Banghart, and JR Reiss. We can expect to see some, if not all, of those players back for Day 1b and/or Day 1c, along with a number of other RunGood Pros who didn't fire Day 1a.

Early Runners
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
RunGood Pro Duma Lowery is among the early entrants, seated next to Chunlei Yuan, whose elimination at the end of Day 1a didn't discourage him from firing again here on Day 1b.

Tucker Takes an Early Beat
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
Issac "Rungood" Tucker did not live up to his nickname, as he had 1,400 in front of him on a board of 
when we got to his table. His opponent in the big blind had made it about 4,000 to go, and Tucker stacked all of his chips and slid them in. His opponent called.
Tucker: 
Opponent: 
Tucker was in great shape, and his opponent patted the table in seeming submission after the 
hit the turn, but a 
river sent Tucker packing.
