The RunGood Poker Series Golden Expedition Lodge Card Club San Antonio $600 Main Event continues with Day 1c, as players take their shot at securing a place in the Day 2 field and continue the chase for a piece of the $200,000 guarantee.
Day 1b wrapped up last night with Jose Chavez (743,000) leading all comers on Day 1b. Julio Zayas (256,000) and David Leach (246,000) follow in second and third, respectively, rounding out the top three players from the second flight of the main event.
Chavez is the one to chase, as his stack is the biggest thus far after two starting flights. Chavez has positioned himself well to secure the first RunGood ring of his career at the Lodge Card Club in San Antonio after his chip-leading finish on Day 1b.
Zayas already has one cash during this stop, when he took third place in the $300 Summit Stack for $6,000. Zayas will look to keep that momentum going when he returns to the felt for Day 2 of the main event on Sunday. Zayas is batting 1.000 as he has cashed in the first two RunGood events that he has entered. It is only a question of how big a cash awaits him during the final day of play.
Leach is no stranger to the tournament scene with over $45,000 in live career earnings, per his The Hendon Mob profile. This is Leach's first RunGood cash of his career.
Day 1c is scheduled to begin on Nov. 13, at 11 a.m. local time, with Day 1d starting at 5 p.m. All times are local.
