Busquet Crushing

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Welcome to Day 1b/c of RunGood Poker Series Hard Rock Tulsa

mnuwwarah

Day 1a is in the books at RunGood Hard Rock Tulsa, but last night's 12 levels of play were a mere appetizer compared to the feast of RunGood action that awaits today.

Today will see the second and third flights hit the felt, with two sets of players getting through to Day 2 to join the 17 that advanced from yesterday's 88-player heat. Just like Day 1a, there will be 12 30-minute levels played over the course of each flight, with the first one kicking off at noon local time and the second one beginning at 7 p.m. Both flights will feature unlimited reentries and 20,000 in starting chips.

The man to catch on Day 1a is Randy Clements, who bagged 191,500. A number of other notables made it through, including RunGood Team Pros Justin Gardenhire and Ray Henson.

By the same token, players like Olivier Busquet, Ross Bybee, Sam Abernathy, Mina Greco, Jonathan Gaviao and Will Berry were unable to punch tickets to Day 2 and we will likely see them back in action today.
