$600 Main Event
Day 1c Started
With the $100,000 prize pool guarantee being nearly doubled with the first two flights, this final flight of The RunGood Poker Series Tunica Main Event looks to give this event a run to triple its guarantee at Horseshoe Casino and Hotel in Tunica. 386 entrants have entered already, with 47 having already made day 2, and this last flight looks to be a large one.
The tournament kicked off at 7 p.m. with players beginning the tournament with 30,000 chips with 30-minute levels starting at 100/200 and a 200 big blind ante with a 10-minute break occurring every four levels. With registration open until level 8, players will be eligible to enter as many times as they wish for their chance for a RGPS main event ring. Play will continue until the field plays down 12.5%, then the remaining players will bag up for Sunday October 9th at 12 p.m. where they will all be in the money, and play for the prizepool.

The current leader is Jessie Bryant with 915,000. Bryant was a dominant force throughout much of his flight and looks to make a deep run on Sunday at noon. Another giant stack from the first two flights is Joshua Adcock who ended the day with 854,000. Both have a 200,000 chip lead above the rest of the field and will have to sweat whether somebody from the final flight will pass them.
Players expected to be in this final flight include Daniel Lowery, Preston McEwen, Christopher Conrad, and Michael Sanders. All were unable to find success on the first two flights and will use this last flight in an effort to make the second day.
Stay tuned to PokerNews for all updates regarding the RunGood Poker Series. Coverage will resume at 11:30 p.m. local time.
