Welcome to RunGood Poker Series Harrah's North Kansas City
The RunGood Poker Series is back with its spring "Ignite the Night" series, and the first of three tournaments in the series kicks off today.
Harrah's North Kansas City will play host to the first event, and it's going to be a unique one as far as the RunGood series goes: it's the first ever one-day Main Event. The tournament has a $340 entry fee and $25,000 guaranteed. Blinds begin at 25/50 and progress through 30-minute levels until Level 12, at which point things move to 40-minute levels. Players begin with 15,000 in their stacks and they may reenter as many times as they wish through the start of Level 9 (800/1,600/300).
Last night's $230 Deepstack event drew 143 runners, so expect a prize pool well in excess of the guarantee. Things get started at 1 p.m. local time here in Kansas City, so stay tuned for the live updates here on PokerNews.

Bartlett Doubles in Odd Hand; Woodson Enters
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
A strange hand just went down that saw Cody Bartlett check a board of

. The floor ruled that action was checked, and the 
river meant Bartlett had his turn to act knowing his opponent's holding. Bartlett shoved for 5,800, and his opponent thought about 30 seconds and called.
Bartlett showed 
for fives full and doubled through.
Elsewhere, Tim Woodson entered the tournament. He finished runner-up to Ryan Tepen at the RunGood Cup Championship in New Orleans last year.
