Day 2 Started
The very first $1,100 Main Event of the RunGood Poker Series has one flight in the books, and Day 1b is on tap for today after 68 players showed up for Day 1a, with 13 advancing.
Russell Licking and Justin Gardenhire dominated proceedings on the opening day, with Licking setting the bar to clear at 240,500 if anyone from Day 1b hopes to take the overall chip lead.
Day 1a play reached Level 15 before a hard stop was hit with 13 players, so 14-plus levels are on top once again for Day 1b, with each lasting 40 minutes under the new, longer structure for RunGood Poker Series. Again, players start with 20,000 in chips with 50/100 blinds, working up to 1,500/3,000/500. Unlimited reentry is allowed until the close of dinner break after Level 9.
Cards are scheduled to fly at noon local time at Horseshoe Council Bluffs.

Jeff Brin just sat down but almost immediately found himself all in. As Dan Hamm told it, there were a couple of early limps before Brin raised in middle position, and Jim Devaney reraised in the blinds. An early limper tried calling but accidentally reraised, and Jose Mendoza, who had also limped, go it all in. Brin went all in, as did Devaney, and the limper followed suit.

Devaney had the lead but it evaporated in short order as flopped. The turn gave Brin even more of a stranglehold, and the sent him the pot, busting three opponents in the process.
