The players start with 20,000 starting chips and will play 12 30-minute levels before bagging for Day 2 Sunday at noon.
Every player who makes the Main Event final table will win there way into a satellite for a shot to play on Poker After Dark in the PokerGO studio. They will also have a shot at an estimated $30,000 first prize and the RGPS Showbound trophy.

The player in the cutoff bet 10,000 and Todd Smith raised to 30,000 on the button. Rivkin thought for a moment before raising to 85,000 and both players quickly went all in. Rivkin called.

Player 3:
The turn was the and the river was the and Smith won the hand to eliminate one player and leave Rivkin very short. Smith is the first player to break 300,000 and looks to end the day as the chip leader.
Todd Smith won a huge hand toward the end of Day 1a of the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Horseshoe Bossier City to secure the chip lead (343,000) moving forward into Day 2. He had queens on an eight-high board, got it in three ways, and held to bag the big stack.
He leads the surviving 28 players, of 133 entries, from the first of three flights in the latest RGPS Showbound $575 Main Event. There are two more flights on Saturday at noon and at 7 p.m.
Run Good Ambassadors Chris Conrad and Ray Henson will be queuing up for the next flights after failing to make it through Day 1a. Meanwhile, LFG Podcast host Jamie Kerstetter (81,000) and Mina Greco (24,000) booked their tickets to the Day 2 restart Sunday at noon.
Mason "Uncle Ron" Hinkle, Chris Horter, Kris Burchfield, and Ben Mintz all failed to bag the first starting flight and will likely join the field at some point during either Day 1b or 1c.
All the updates will be right here on PokerNews.com all weekend as the RGPS moves one step closer to crowning its next Main Event champion, and sending ten more players to the Showbound satellite in Tulsa for a shot at playing on Poker After Dark.
