Day 1a of The RunGood Poker Series $1,100 Main Event at Seminole Coconut Creek Casino sees 48 players advance to Day 2 out of the 171 entries.

At the top of the chip counts is Matt Lambrecht with 362,000. Lambrecht became the chip leader around Level 9 after winning a massive pot in which he rivered a flush against two pair and just continued to build as the night progressed. He stands as the only player to have crossed the 300,000 chip threshold.

Following behind him are Ray Henson with 266,500 and Shalom Elharar with 238,500. Both players will be looking to continue amassing chips as the players reconvene on Sunday.

	Name	Chip Count

2	Ray Henson	266,500
3	Shalom Elharar	238,500
4	Kyle Kranz	225,000
5	John Dolinger	201,500
6	Jerry Wong	167,000
7	Jacob Ristich	160,000

10	Pasi Lahinen	144,000

Also bagging were bracelet winners Loni Harwood(66,500) and Yuval Bronshtein(118,500) as well as Jerry Wong(167,000), Scott Baumstein(101,500) and Chris Conrad(100,500). The structure is best stack forward so any player who bagged today will have the option to forfeit their stack today if they find a bigger one the next day.

Some of those who were less fortunate during the day included bracelet winners Phillip Hui and Athanasios Polychronopoulos, as well as Nick Yunis, Jake Schwartz, Jeff Platt, and last year's runner-up Timothy “T.K.” Miles. They will have to enter into Day 1b or 1c to keep their chances in this tournament alive.

PokerNews will be on the floor with all of the updates on this tournament the following starting days as well as its conclusion this Sunday.
