The victory gave Patchel his largest live tournament score and he now has $12,202 in live tournament earnings, according to The Hendon Mob.
The Main Event prize pool has surpassed the $100,000 guarantee after just one level of play in Day 1b. There are 110 entrants in the second flight so far, bringing the total number of entrants so far to 262 for a prize pool of $131,000.
George Osthimer of California won the first event of the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Jamul Casino stop, the $125 Seniors Event, after making a deal that earned him a payday of $1,860.
The opening event attracted a total of 123 entrants to generate a prize pool of $12,300.
The victory marks Osthimer's second-ever live tournament cash, according to The Hendon Mob. His previous cash came in the same casino in June 2021 when he finished eighth in the RGPS $135 No Limit Hold'em - Opening Night Bounty event for $715.
Cards are in the air and action is underway in Day 1b of the RGPS Jamul Casino Main Event.
The RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Jamul Casino Main Event in San Diego continues today with flights 1b and 1c, the final of three starting flights in the $575 buy-in tournament.
Day 1b will commence today at noon local time, while Day 1c will get underway later this evening at 7 p.m. The RGPS Jamul Casino Main Event has a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000 and will almost certainly surpass that as the next two flights get underway.
Like Day 1a, players will begin with a stack of 20,000 chips and blind levels of 100/100. Blind levels will last for 30 minutes in duration up to Level 12, at which point they will increase to 45 minutes. The tournament allows for unlimited re-entry up until the start of Level 9.
Days 1b and 1c will break either after Level 12 or at the tournament director’s discretion. The remaining players at the end of each starting flight will return for Day 2 on Sunday, Feb. 6 at noon, which will play down to a winner.
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.
Shane Truesdale bagged the chip in day 1a with a stack of 282,500, while other players in contention in Day 1a included Kyna England, Richard Alsup and RunGood ambassador Joe Stapleton.
Last month, California’s Kasey Orr won the RGPS Thunder Valley Main Event and earned a payday of $65,728 after reaching a heads-up deal in the record-setting tournament, which saw 851 entries.
