Day 1cd Completed
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
After four flights of play, The RunGood Poker Series Resort $800 Main Event has seen the registration flights come to a close. 539 players came out to test their skills in the third installment here at Hollywood Casino in St. Louis, Missouri. The $200,000 guarantee has been smashed with 67 players guaranteed a piece of the $382,690 unofficial prizepool.
RGPS crusher Jesse Jones of Day 1c did not disappoint today as he bagged the largest chip count of all four flights. Returning with 720,000 tomorrow, Jones will be a force to be reckoned with as he looks to score his first piece of RunGood hardware.
Bagging second today is Casey Master with 641,000 and rounding out the top three is Michael Brown with 539,000.

Sean Maurer (535,000) was the beneficiary of a late-night run and he capped it off when he made a huge call against Daniel Lowery (84,000) to rocket to the top of the counts. Others who found bags included Cody Stanford, (263,000), Hamid Izadi (252,000) and Preston McEwen (136,000), each looking for their first RGPS Main Event title.
Fortune did not smile on all players today. Greg Raymer, Shaun Emery, and Jessica Robertsall fell short of an end-of-day bag. They will have to look towards other RGPS main events to claim a title.
Play ended with 28:00 left in Level 13 in Day 1a with blinds at 3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 big blind ante. 67 players will come back tomorrow at 12:00 with 40-minute blinds and a dinner break when the players reach the final table.
Stay tuned to PokerNews for updates and to find out who will be crowned champion for the RGPS Resort stop in St. Louis, Missouri.

With the field cut down to 17, play has stopped for the evening as the players bag up to return tomorrow at high noon for the Day 2 restart.
Chip counts for both of today's flights along with a recap of the day's events will be released shortly so stay tuned!
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Before the flop, a player open-shoved and then John 'Farmboy' Kurfman re-jammed over the top to isolate.
Opponent: A♥Q♥
John Kurfman: A♦K♣
The flop of 4♥J♥5♦ made it a sweat as the at-risk player picked up a flush draw, but the runout of 8♠9♦ failed to get him there and he was eliminated on the stone bubble while Kurfman was awarded the pot.
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
On a heads-up completed board of J♥6♣A♣10♠4♥, Sean Maurer led out for 71,000 but then Daniel Lowery popped it to 180,000.
After some considerable thought, Maurer set out a stack of chips to make the call.
Lowery then flipped over Q♠10♣ for a pair of tens, but Maurer had him beat with A♥10♦ for two pair to score the massive pot. This catapulted him to over 500,000 while Lowery was left short.
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The field has now been trimmed to 18 and with 17 bagging, they are now on the money bubble. Hand-for-hand is now in effect and play will stop with one more elimination.
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
After some preflop back-and-forth, John 'Farmboy' Kurfman got it all in against a player to put them at risk.
Opponent: A♠5♥
John Kurfman: Q♣10♠
The at-risk player was in the lead with his ace-high, but the runout of 7♥Q♠10♦4♠K♥ was not his friend as it gave Kurfman two pair to claim the pot, eliminating his foe .
