Sunday is marathon day at the RunGood Poker Series Contenders Council Bluffs $575 Main Event, and 137 players will return to Horseshoe Councill Bluffs with their hopes of being the one player to outlast everybody else. A total of 813 entries were recorded over the tournament's three starting flights this weekend, and an extended day at the felt will see the eventual champion earn themselves $80,853.
Entering the day with the overall chip lead is Brett Reichard (465,500), whose late-night surge in last night's final flight ultimately left him more than 40% clear of his next closest competitor in Day 1a chip leader Isidro Sandoval (331,000). Day 1b chip leader Daniel Thomas starts the day in third, and Mike Vanier and Beriz Turnadzic round out the top five, each with a stack of 277,500.
Other notable players in contention include Luke Blindert (235,000), Ryan Phan (175,500), Mark Fink (136,000), Johnnie Moreno (91,000), and RunGood Ambassador Blair Hinkle (74,500).
Play will resume with six minutes remaining in Level 13 (2K/3K/3K) and continue with 45-minute levels until the start of Level 22 (15K/25K/25K). The top 90 places will be paid, meaning about 35% of the returning field will walk away empty-handed. Everybody who does make it into the money will earn a min-cash of $937, with payouts increasing regularly all the way through to the finish.
Cards are in the air at 11 a.m. local time, and a full day of action-filled poker will be getting underway shortly. PokerNews will be on hand to keep you updated every step of the way, so don't go anywhere.

Blinds: 2,000/3,000

Action checked through the turn and the river came . The rest of the chips made it into the center, and the room erupted.
