Welcome to Day 1a of the $1,100 Main Event at the next stop of the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) hosted here at the Horseshoe Baltimore! Cards go in the air at 5 p.m. local time for the first of three starting flights.
This marks the first time the popular mid-stakes poker series has made a stop in Baltimore, or in the Northeast for that matter, and it is already doing a fantastic job of turning folks out as events have been running all week.
Baltimore is the second stop of the newest season of the RGPS Road Trip Tour, continuing after a record-breaking kickoff at the Horseshoe in Tunica, Mississippi. After this, the tour will continue on to Hollywood Casino in St. Louis, Missouri from Sept. 26 to Oct. 1, followed by EIGHT more stops around the country. The season will then wrap up in California at the Thunder Valley Casino for the Dream Factory grand finale Nov. 28-Dec. 1.

Back to the tournament at hand, players will start with 30,000 in chips and registration is open until the start of Level 9. Levels are 30 minutes long with a break every four levels until registration closes and they switch to 40-minute levels, and the opening flights will play until players reach the money, which will be 12.5% of the field.
Players can play in all Day 1 flights and if a player qualifies from multiple flights, their highest stack will remain in play while the other bags will be forfeited. Survivors from the three opening flights will return on Sunday at 1 p.m. for the Day 2 finale.
