Hess and Troendly Lead Flight 1d Into Day 2 Of The RGPS $800 Graton Main Event

Liam Gannon

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Flight 1d began today at 4 pm, and saw a total of 228 entrants try for their shot at a bag. After 15 levels played out, the field was reduced to 29. Each one of them guaranteed a minimum cash and a shot for the title on Sunday, October 29th.

Leading the way is Scott Hess who ended their day with 658,000 which is good for the overall tournament lead. With his first recorded Hendon Mob cash, Hess looks to make it a memorable one as he alone stands above the 600,000 chip threshold. Behind him in the flight is RGPS ring winner Richard Troendly 545,000. With over $300,000 in lifetime earnings, Troendly looks to make another impressive splash on the RGPS circuit here at Graton.

Place	Player	Chip Count
1	Scott Hess	658,000
2	Richard Troendly	545,000
3	Paul Chai	499,000
4	Alberto Rodriguez	403,000
5	Lu Yuan	387,000
6	Charles Melton	363,000
7	Trevor Smith	325,000
8	Christopher Keller	288,000
9	Elicito Coniendo	254,000
10	Niv Decalo	210,000

Others who found bags at the end of the night included Charles Melton (363,000), Zach Smyth (173,000), Don Vo (168,000), John Koo (167,000), and WSOP bracelet winner Dong Meng (152,000). Each one of them looking for a piece of the pie worth $585,900.

Not all were able to find bags on this flight. Players like Daniel Lowery, PokerGO Commentator Jeff Platt, Jagdeep Bal, and Brett Murray, will have to look at another RGPS stop to collect a main event title.

Blinds will return in Level 16 at 5,000/10,000 Stay tuned to PokerNews for all updates regarding the RGPS Graton Main Event in Rohnert Park, California.
