Leading the way is Susie who bagged a whopping 937,000. Peterson won a huge pot against Druce Gammon to propel her to the chip lead. With only one single cash on Hendon Mob, Peterson is aiming to collect her best live cash as well as her first RGPS cash. With the largest stack by far, she will be a force to be reckoned with late in the tournament. Rounding out the podium were Druce Gammond (472,000), who’s day saw him fall to just 2 big blinds on the bubble, and Joshua Gibbs (306,000). They will place themselves nicely into the top ten overall chip counts of the already bagged up flights.
Tyler Patterson could not find things going his way in this flight. He joined fellow RunGood Ambassador Michael Loncar on the rail, along with Bob Mather, David Stamm, Paul Sampson, Papa Karn, and Lindsey Kludt. Two RGPS ring winners ended up going out on the bubble of the flight as Lexy Gavin-Mather and Joseph Mussat found themselves both on the wrong end of the bubble.
Play ended on the final hand of Level 15 in the first flightmeaning that players will return to Level 16 with blinds at 5,000/10,000 with a 10,000 big blind ante, unless the last flight ends earlier than that one.
We will now be going on a break from coverage of this event. Check back in around 11:00 to see coverage of Flight D.
