All three starting flights are now in the books as Day 1bc action has come to a close in the $600 Main Event here at the RunGood Poker Series Grand Prix hosted by Horseshoe Tunica. Day 1bc saw a huge turnout, with a combined total of 453 entries being tallied, 56 of which have locked up a min-cash and will return on Day 2.
The morning flight drew a lot of action, attracting 241 runners with 30 players finding a bag for Sunday. Teresa Lammie ascended to the top of the counts, bagging an impressive 696,000 - good for second in the overall standings heading into the final day. She took down the $300 One Day NLH Ring Event just a couple days ago for a payday of $9,656 and will be on the hunt for another big score.
The evening flight saw a total of 212 entries, with 26 making it through to Day 2. Keith McKuin bagged the chip lead with 450,000 to continue his heater here in Tunica. He took down the $250 Series Opener Ring Event for $4,808 and followed it up with a win in the $300 DeepStack Ring Event for $16,355 immediately after.

Players to Keep an Eye On
Nine-time RGPS ring winner Preston McEwen bagged big in Day 1b, after exiting on the soft bubble during the Day 1a flight. He finished second behind Lammie with a respectable 643,000, and will be searching for ring number ten come Sunday.
Greg Raymer, the 2004 WSOP Main Event Champion, played Day 1b and bagged up 59,000 for Day 2. Although he will have some work to do, FossilMan is certainly comfortable navigating any stack size and will look to spin it up on Sunday.
Michael Johns (430,000), Chico Pho (420,000), Walker Miskelly (273,000), and Rob Gardner (48,000) are other names to look out for as the tournament plays on.
The remaining 76 players who qualified will return for Day 2 on Sunday, September 7, at 12:00 p.m. local time where the event will play down to a winner. The tournament structure will resume with blinds at the lowest level of play during the Day 1 flights.
