Day 1c Completed
Three Day 1’s have come and gone at the 2025 RGPS Mission RunGood Jacksonville $1,200 Main Event.
A total of 246 runners made their way to bestbet Jacksonville for Day 1c today with their eyes on a bag. However, after 16 levels of play, just 31 have punched their ticket to Sunday’s Day 2.
Day 1c has brought the total number of players to 465 with 59 advancing, including two double-bags from Nicholas Raio and Michael Vela, as they will receive a $3,600 bonus along with a min-cash for their smaller Day 1b bags. This means that 57 players will be returning tomorrow to fight for their piece of the $483,600 prize pool.
Hand-for-hand play was brutal for some and helpful for others as it took a total of 37 hands and 105 minutes of real time to complete.
Leading the way from Day 1c is Nikhil Sunku who accumulated a big stack early and never looked back on his way to a bag of 782,000.
