Day: 1a
Danny Padilla Puts a Stamp on Day 1a
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
The RunGood Poker Series main event at Council Bluffs Horseshoe started Friday at 7 p.m. This was the first of three starting flights for the first main event of the RGPS All Stars season.
Danny Padilla took the chip lead early and held it most of the night, only dipping to about 140,000 before finally bagging 382,000. Padilla was already going to bag the chip lead, but on the final hand of the night, he added even more. He called two all ins, both under 20 big blinds and managed to flop the best and hold. He eliminated two players and took almost 400,000 into Day 2. Day 2 will resume Sunday at noon.
At the end of the day, 21 players bagged and no one was even really close to Padilla. Chris Hovey bagged 190,500 and that was the next biggest stack.
Mike Fouts, who won this event in 2018, was among the many Day 1a casualties. He is expected to rejoin the field Saturday. Paul Strohm also failed to bag, after running pocket kings into pocket aces. Emily Larson was also felted with kings. She lost to trip aces after getting all in against ace-high.
The fields for Saturday will both likely be bigger than tonight's and PokerNews.com will be here throughout the weekend brining you updates and photos from the RGPS main event here at the Horseshoe Council Bluffs.
