370 entrants made their way out to the Atlantis Casino in Reno, Nevada for the $600 RGPS Main Event. The guarantee on the prize pool was smashed as $188,700 is set to be divided among the 44 survivors of today, with action beginning at 12:00 PM. Only one will end the day with the ring on their finger and claim the $40,095 that will go to first place.
Leading the way is Adam Saven (711,000) who has made it a habit of final tabling the Main Event here at Reno, having finished in 9th place a year ago, and 4th place in October. Ed Miller (683,000) and WSOP bracelet winner Ian Steinman (582,000) round out the podium, with many other regulars making it into the mix like Art Tamimoto (480,000), Joseph Mussat (480,000), Victor Paredes (373,000), Dann Turner (322,000), Josh Prager (250,000), and poker power couple Bob Mather (76,000) and Lexy Gavin-Mather (72,000).
