The RunGood Poker Series Golden Expedition Lodge Card Club San Antonio $600 Main Event moves into its Saturday schedule with Day 1e, as players continue their pursuit of a share of the $200,000 guaranteed prize pool. With four opening flights now in the books, a total of three more opportunities remain for hopefuls to secure their spot on Day 2 and get a piece of the $200,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Day 1d saw a total of 93 players, permitting 11 players a spot on Day 2. It was Francisco Garcia (531,000) who led the overall standings after the fourth flight. Jason Royman (482,000) and Ray Henson (445,000) rounded out the top three finishers from Day 1d.
Garcia is only the third player to cross the half-million chip mark thus far through four flights of play and is searching for his first RunGood title when he returns for Day 2.
This is Royman’s third cash at RunGood affiliated events with his last cash taking place at the RunGood Summer Series Austin $600 Main Event as he is still in the hunt for his first RGPS ring. Royman will have a healthy stack to work with and will enter with plenty of experience with over $135,000 in live career earnings per his The Hendon Mob page.
Henson already has two RunGood rings to his name as he searches for a third to add to his collection. Henson has racked up over $150,000 in earnings at RunGood events and is not far removed from when he took first place in the $400 PokerNews PowerStack event at the RGPS Golden Expedition Champions Club stop in Houston. Henson will enter Day 2 as one of the more accomplished players in the field with over $3.7 million in total live career earnings on his The Hendon Mob profile.
Day 1e is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. local time. Day 1f will begin at 5 p.m., while the final listed starting flight, Day 1g Turbo, is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 15, at 9 a.m. All times are local.
