The third and final flight of the RunGood Poker Main Event at Harrah's North Kansas City wrapped up after drawing 76 entrants - pushing the overall number of entrants to 252. Following 12 levels of action only 16 players remained to bag up chips at the end of the night and William McCracken leads the field with 194,500.

Only five other players from Day 1C cracked the six-figure mark; which contrasts Day 1A where half the survivors had century plus stacks. Maruti Cherakupally, Mike White, Andre Allen, Mike Adams and Zeki Tarim all crossed 100,000 chips.

Adams entered the final two levels of the night with less than ten big blinds and played his way to the top of the leaderboard by the end of the night.

Andre Allen was above average during the final hours of play, but hit a huge hand at the end of the night where his pocket eights beat out two opponents, sending one the rail and chipped him up to over 160,000.

Sunday has 52 players returning to action with 27 spots that pay. Looking back at the Day 1 flights the numbers broke down as such:

Day 1A - 97 entrants - 16 survivors
Day 1B - 79 entrants - 20 survivors
Day 1C - 76 entrants - 16 survivors

Day 2 gets underway at noon and Sunday and they'll play down until they crown a winner. Follow all the RunGood action right here at PokerNews.
