The final day for registration of Event #6: $1,100 No-Limit Hold’em Run Good Poker Series at Seminole Coconut Creek saw a massive turnout of 276 entrants, bringing the prize pool of $589,760 to a higher height than any other in the history of The Run Good Poker Series. The winner of this event will not only win a seat to the Pro-Am tournament later in the year, but an impressive $111,186 for first place.
Bagging the flight lead and second in the overall tournament is Vladimir Grechnikov with 440,000. Collecting some big pots early, it wasn’t until the end of the night where he became a dominant force. He sits only 11,500 chips behind Day 1b’s leader Kevin Blewitt and will be looking to make a deep run.
Defending champion Raminder Singh was able to find an impressive bag at the end of the night with 368,500 chips, putting him in the top 10 for the tournament overall. He and last year's runner up Timothy “T.K.” Miles have both set themselves up for a deep run and each will be looking to top last year’s score.
