RunGood is Back! Kansas City Main Event Kicks off at 4 p.m.
For the first time since 2019, the RunGood Poker Series is back bigger and better than ever in its return to the Harrahs property here in Kansas City. This long-awaited arrival of the GPI's Mid-Major Tournament Series of the Year has already resulted in record turnouts for this location.
The $1,100 buy-in Main Event is guaranteed a $200,000 prize pool but its expectations are to completely smash that figure.
The first of three starting flights is set to begin today at 4 p.m. local time and will play until 12.5% of the field remains to bag up and return on Sunday for Day 2.
Players will start with 30,000 in chips and levels will be 30 minutes long starting at blinds of 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante.
There are unlimited re-buys for this event and registration will be open until the start of Level 9 where the length will then switch to 40 minutes per level. There will also be a 10-minute break approximately every 2 hours (every four levels until Level 9 and every three afterward).
The PokerNews reporting team will be on-site providing all of the updates in the RGPS Main Event until a winner is crowned on Sunday, so stay tuned!
Main Event Flight 1A pushed back to 5 p.m.

Chadbourne Makes the Call
Level 2
: 200/300, 300 ante
In a raised four-way pot, the flop came out 4♠Q♣10♦ and the small blind led out 2,100 which produced a fold from the under-the-gun player, but then Steve Chadbourne in the hijack raised it up to 5,000. The cutoff made the call as well as the small blind.
The turn was the K♥ and action checked to Chadborne who continued for another 5,000 but then the cutoff then jammed all in for around 16,200. The small blind quickly got out of the way and the action was back on Chadborne who went into the tank.
After around 30 seconds, Chadbourne sighed and set out chips to put his opponent at risk and the cards were tabled.
Cutoff: Q♠J♣
Steve Chadbourne: K♦Q♦
Chadbourne was ahead with his two-pair against his opponent's pair of queens, but still needed to fade a nine or an ace to avoid the straight draw. Fortunately for him, the river came the brick 4♦ and Chadbourne scooped the pot and eliminated his opponent in the process.
