Run Good Poker Series Family Dinner

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

One of the staples of a Run Good Poker Series stop is the family dinner. Tonight several of the players and staff joined Run Good CEO for dinner at Q 39 Barbecue before some of them headed to the Kansas City Royals game.

Those players who were lucky enough to bag during the opening flight are heading to the game, and those who have yet to bag will likely join the field late tonight or play the final flight tomorrow. A few of the players from the dinner made their way back to Harrah's in time to start Day 1B on time.
