$575 RunGood Main Event
Day 1a Completed
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Day 1a action in the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Jamul Casino Main Event has wrapped up after 12 levels of play with Shane Truesdale in the chip lead after bagging a stack of 282,500. Truesdale leads 30 players who will return to compete on Day 2 for a chance to take down the Main Event.
Play on Day 1a lasted for six hours and saw a field of 152 entrants in a tournament with three starting flights that will almost certainly surpass the guaranteed prize pool of $100,000.
Other big stacks at the end of Day 1a include Rafi Azam (275,500), Michael Rosado (232,000) and Bryant Smith (144,500).
Assorted Stacks at End of Day 1a
| Shane Truesdale | 282,500 | |
| Rafi Azam | 275,500 | |
| Michael Rosado | 232,000 | |
| Bryant Smith | 144,500 | |

| Joe Stapleton | 95,500 |
Also among the 30 remaining players is RunGood ambassador Joe Stapleton is among those who survived the six hours of play on Day 1a. The popular poker commentator bagged a stack of 95,500 and will look to run it up when he returns on Sunday for Day 2. Kyna England, who had a breakout year in 2021, is also among those in the field.
Fellow RunGood ambassadors Jamie Kerstetter, “Boston” Rob Mariano, and Kris Burchfield played in the first starting flight but didn’t make it to the end of the day.
PokerNews’ very own Chad Holloway, who won a satellite into the Main Event on ClubGG, was also in the Day 1a field. Unfortunately, Holloway couldn’t run his stack up and was eliminated as the day wrapped up.
Day 1b will commence at noon on Saturday, Feb. 5, while the third and final starting flight will kick off later that evening at 7pm. The remaining players from each flight will return on Sunday, Feb. 6 for a chance at taking the tournament down.
The eventual winner of the RGPS Jamul Casino Main Event will earn the lion’s share of the prize pool, as well as an exclusive invitation and $800 seat and stipend package to the RGPS: All Stars Pro-am Event at PokerGo Studios in December 2022.
That wraps up coverage of Day 1a, but the PokerNews live reporting team will be back tomorrow to bring you more updates.
