Unfortunately, none of the RunGood Ambassador Team of Caitlin Comeskey, Taylor Howard, Nikki Limo, or Daniel Hughes managed to find a bag last night so you better believe they will be out in full force today.
As with Day 1a, players will begin the tournament with 30,000 in chips with blinds beginning at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Levels will last 30 minutes, with a 15-minute break occurring after every four levels. Registration will remain open until the beginning of level 9, after which the players will play until there is only 12.5% of the field remaining.
The surviving players will guarantee themselves a minimum cash and advance onto Day 2 where levels will be upped to 40-minute levels. Those who do not find a bag on this flight will have ample opportunity tomorrow to fire again. This tournament is unlimited reentry and players who bag multiple times will see their smaller stack taken out of play for a minimum cash, while their bigger stack will remain in play.

Cards are in the air and chips are already flying as Day 1b of the RGPS Jamul Main Event is officially underway!
On a four-way flop of 8♦3♦3♠, Anthony Reategui led out for 1,000 and got two callers before Caitlin Comeskey raised it up to 3,200. Reategui and the player behind made the call to see the Q♠ fall on the turn and they both decided to check.
Comesey then fired for 9,000 but then Anthony Reategui check-raised all in to cover.
"I drove a long way from Wyoming so I'm just gonna let these cards go," the player behind said as he slid his cards into the muck while Comeskey wasted zero time making the call.
Caitlin Comeskey: A♦10♦
Anthony Reategui: 7♥3♥
Comeskey needed a diamond to stay alive against her opponent's trip threes, but the river 7♣ further improved him to a full house and she was sent to the registration desk to re-enter.

After checking through the turn 6♠Q♠9♥2♠, Anastasia Knapp moved all in for 15,500 once the K♦ hit the river. The action was then on Denis Corpuz who went into the tank for a few moments while he considered putting his stack in for the 40,000 pot.
After a few more seconds, he checked his cards one last time before sending them into the muck to award Knapp the pot.
