The NAPT Player of the Series race has seen some interesting shifts over the past few days. Michael Johns sits in first place with 129 points after winning his third ring in the Deepstack event. This creates an interesting dynamic as he cannot win the race because he already has a package he won in Tunica. Sitting behind him after she finished in third place twice is Janet Moore, who sits with 125 points, just inching ahead of Joey Gargiulo who had a first and a second place, now sitting with 120 points. Matthew Betti’s second-place finish in the Deepstack puts him in fourth place with 96 points and Jordan Cushman’s multiple final tables put him in fifth place with 86 points. It is still anyone (except Johns’) game and most of the series' points will likely be given through the Main Event.
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 each, with a 15-minute break after every four levels. Registration will remain open until the beginning of Level 9, after which the players will play until just 12.5% rounded up remain. Those players will bag up and return to play on Sunday at noon, where the levels will be upped to 40 minutes each. Those who do not find bags can fire as many bullets as they want on the following flights.

Action was picked up on the flop in a four way pot which included Randy Gil in the hijack and Delia Cabitac in the cutoff.
With 2,200 in the center and a board reading 2♠7♠Q♣ action checked around to Gil who bet 1,000 which only Cabitac called.
Both players checked the 10♠ turn to the K♦ river where Gil sized up to 2,000 and Cabitac called.
"I don't have it," Gil said as he tossed his hand into the muck and Cabitac won the pot on the river with no showdown.

The Rungood Poker Series kicked off the week out at Atlantis Casino with a bang as 97 entrants came out to play the first event of the series. The Seniors Event collected a total of $19,400 to be divided up between the final 13 players.
After a heads up deal was made to play for just the ring, Christopher Dupuy and Peg Franchetti went to battle, each looking for their first RGPS ring. It was a swingy affair, but as the dust settled, Franchetti acquired the last chips in the tournament and she became the first ring winner of the stop.
With over $300,000 in lifetime earnings, Franchetti adds her first ring to the slew of cashes and results that she has acquired over the past eleven years of tournament cashes. With this win, she now also wins an invitation to the RGPS Thunder Valley Dream Seat Invitiational.

| 1 | Peg Franchetti* | $4,780 |
