Leading the tournament is the final flight’s leader Kris Burchfield, who ended the day with a whopping 1,011,000 in the bag. Burchfield made up for lack of success in the previous two flights, by hitting the ground running in this one and never slowing down. Floating at the top of the chip counts for the entire day, and being on the right end of massive confrontations, benefitted the Texas resident greatly. He burst the bubble by eliminating a fellow RunGood ambassador Justin Gardenhire on the stone bubble when his queens held up against ace-king. The RunGood Ambassador has become a staple of most of the live stops and has consistently cashed in a large number of them. Burchfield has made nine total RGPS final tables, and a win here would be the cherry on top of an already impressive RunGood resume.

Second in chips and the chip leader of their respective flight was Kansas resident Mark Martin, who ended the second flight with 877,000. Martin hovered in the top five in chips all day, but it wasn’t until the hand that he eliminated Dakotah O’Dell with a rivered flush for a 700,000 chip pot that he soared to the largest stack in his flight. Martin isn’t hunting for his first RGPS title, as he already claimed that victory in 2014 at RGPS Joplin for his second biggest career score. Martin seeks to be the second player to ever win two RGPS Main Event titles, and his massive stack has put him in a position to do so.

Mark Martin
Mark Martin took a massive lead after a massive three way all in went his way, and continued to grow following that in Flight 1b.

Many players remain in this stacked field of names, including Jared Ward (384,000), recent RGPS ring winners Joseph Gargiulo (383,000) and Sandra Main (217,000), poker player and twitter personality Caitlin Comeskey (281,000), Kami Hudson (157,000), Yoel Gonzalez (119,000), and RGPS regular Duster Ellis (82,000). Joe Ferguson (205,000) became the only player in this event to bag twice, which will net him at least one min cash of his shorter stack. Not all were fortunate enough to see tomorrow, as many including Will Berry, Edward Welch, Daniel Pigago, Daniel “Donk” Hughes, and WSOP Main Event Champion Scotty Nguyen all found their hopes of a RGPS Tulsa Main Event Title dashed on this trip. The unfortunate pair of bubble boys were Derek Gomez, who’s ace-ten could not survive against Michael Long’s Jacks, and Justin Gardenhire. All of these players will have to look elsewhere for a new RGPS Main Event title.

Flight 1a ended earlier than the following two flights. Play ended and 15:29 was left in level 14 with blinds at 3,000/6,000 and a 6,000 big blind ante. The 81 surviving players will start play again on Sunday, January 29th at 12 pm in the poker room. After this, the levels will be changed to 40-minute blinds, with a 15-minute break after every three levels, with play continuing until a new champion is crowned.

Justin Gardenhire Eliminated On The Bubble of The RunGood Poker Series Main Event

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Justin Gardenhire
Justin Gardenhire

Justin Gardenhire from early position decided to raise to 76,000, and action folded around to Kris Burchfield in the small blind who moved all in for 176,000 effective and Gardenhire snap-called.

Justin Gardenhire: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Kris Burchfield: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The race got underway as the flop rolled off {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, keeping Burchfield in the lead. The turn {3-Diamonds} gave Gardenhire some more outs as the flush draw materialized, but the river {q-Spades} kept Burchfield's queens in the lead and the five-time RGPS champion found his luck running out on the stone bubble of the $600 Main Event.

The remaining players will bag up for the night, and return tomorrow at 12 pm to play for the championship. A full recap is soon to follow.
