The RunGood Poker Series Grand Prix continues at Horseshoe Council Bluffs, with Day 1b of the $800 Main Event taking place today at 12:00 p.m. local time and Day 1c starting at 6:00 p.m. The tournament features a $111,000 guaranteed prize pool, with three Day 1 starting flights taking place over two days. Players who advance from each flight will combine and return for Day 2 on Sunday, November 23, where a winner will be crowned.

Earlier in the year, the 2025 Mission RunGood Series edition of the event attracted 461 runners, and through the first starting flight, 91 entries have been tallied this time around. Only 11 of those competitors will be advancing to Day 2, all of whom have already made the money.

Nolan Garrett emerged as the Day 1a chip leader, bagging a whopping 560,000. The only other player to surpass the half million chip mark was Robert Sherraden with 532,000. They will look to leverage their big stacks on Sunday to make a deep run and hit a big score.

Day 1a Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chip Count
1	Nolan Garrett	United States	560,000
2	Robert Sherraden	United States	532,000
3	Robert Kirk	United States	413,000
4	Mark Coffin	United States	296,000
5	Carl Masters	United States	271,000
6	Dave Mark	United States	169,000
7	James Mullin	United States	168,000
8	Liam Gannon	United States	98,000
9	Robert Renaud (US)	United States	98,000
10	Brent Gregory	United States	75,000
11	Jessica Anderson	United States	50,000

Players will begin each starting flight with 30,000 in chips and blinds will begin at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Blinds will be 30 minutes in length during the open registration period (Levels 1-8) and will increase to 40 minutes after late registration closes (Level 9 and beyond). At the completion of Level 8, players may forfeit their stack and reenter for $800.

Should a player choose to play multiple Day 1 flights, only the highest qualifying stack will be permitted to continue to Day 2. Any lower stack(s) will be removed from play at the start of Day 2 and receive a min-cash.

Play for Day 1 flights will conclude once 12.5% of the field (rounded down) remains and those who bag will be in the money. Day 2 will then start at the earliest blind level of the three flights on Sunday, November 23, where the event will play down to a winner.
