Action was recapped by the table as two players were seen exiting the tournament.

On a board reading J♠K♣5♦J♥, three players got in all of their chips to create a pot that grew to over 85,000 in size, with Will Wagoner having both players covered.

Middle Position: A♣J♦
Big Blind: K♠J♣
Will Wagoner: K♥K♦

Wagoner had both players drawing dead before the inconsequential 2♥ on the river and the RGPS ring winner scooped a massive pot to put him in the lead at the beginning of the tournament.

After yesterday’s day of play drew out 188 entrants, today sees the second of three starting days begin at noon today. With the guarantee already having been passed, today will see just how far above it can reach with not just the second flight, but the third flight that begins at 6 pm.

Bagging up yesterday’s lead is Quang Pham(NE) who ended the day with 476,000. Pham lead the pack around level 10 when he scooped a massive pot with ace-ten against his opponents queens when he filled up on the river and he bounced up the leaderboard to nearly 600,000. Though he fell slightly, he still ended up as the massive stack of the tournament, and all players today will be looking to pass him.

Also bagging up yesterday was last year’s runner up Mark Homan (434,000), along with Angela Jordison (331,000), Donnie Phan (264,000), Renato Spahiu (239,000), Kevin Berthelsen (176,000), Michael Miller (173,000), and Kaleb Dunn (138,000).

Many are expected to join the festivities today, including defending champion Derrick Plumage, Daniel Hamm, Daniel Hughes, and recent RGPS ring winners Duster Ellis, Taylor Howard, Caitlin Comeskey, and Ashley “PokerFaceAsh” Frank. All looking for their own piece of the massive prize pool.

Players will start out with 30,000, with blinds beginning at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. The levels will last 30 minutes, with at 15-minute break occurring after every four levels. Registration will close at the beginning of level 9. After that, the flight will end once the field has been brought down to 12.5%. This is an unlimited re-entry format, so all players will be able to exercise their rights for re-entry in the first 8 levels of the tournament. Those who do not find bags in Day 1b will look to find a bag in Day 1c.
