The RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Jamul Casino Main Event in San Diego continues today with flights 1c and 1d, the last of four starting flights in the $600 buy-in tournament.

Day 1c will commence today at 11:00 a.m. local time, while Day 1d will get underway later this evening at 6 p.m. The RGPS Jamul Casino Main Event has a guaranteed prize pool of $150,000 and will almost certainly surpass that as the next two flights get underway.

Like the previous flights, players will begin with a stack of 30,000 chips and blind levels of 100/200. Blind levels will last for 30 minutes in duration up to Level 12 and the tournament allows for unlimited re-entry up until the start of Level 9.

Days 1c and 1d will break after the player pool has dwindled down to the remaining 12.5% and those players will then be in the money. The remaining players at the end of each starting flight will then combine for Day 2 on Sunday, November 20 at 11:00 a.m. and will play down to a winner.

The eventual winner of the RGPS Jamul Casino Main Event will not only earn the lion’s share of the prize pool and RGPS ring, but also will receive an exclusive invitation and $800 seat and stipend package to the RGPS: All Stars ProAm Event at PokerGO Studio in December 2022.

Chris Smith bagged the chip in day 1b with a stack of 525,000, while other players in contention in Day 1b included RunGood ambassador Taylor Howard (458,000), Terry Davis (322,000), Kevin Meyers (253,000), and Bob Hoag (241,000).

Little Resistance for Stoneburner

Kirk Brown

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Rich Lanes opened to 600 from the cutoff but was then three-bet by David Stoneburner on the button. The big blind and the early position decided to come along and Lanes made the call as well.

The flop came and action was checked around to Stoneburner who fired a continuation bet of 3,500.

This seemed to do the trick as all of his opponents folded one by one and he was awarded the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
David Stoneburner	35,000 35,000	35,000
Rich Lanes	25,000

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

in a big four-way pot with one all in, the board read when action checked to Chris Stallcamp, who then bet 11,500 into the 15,000 pot.
