$800 Main Event
Day 1d Started
An action-packed day rolls on in the $800 RunGood Passport Season Atlantic City Main Event at the Borgata Hotel, Casino & Spa. Two starting flights have come and gone, and Day 1c is currently underway, with 209 entries at the time of writing and a bit less than three hours of late registration still to go. That brings the field size to 512 entries so far, already surpassing the $300,000 guarantee.
That prize pool will continue to build throughout the night as Day 1d, the fourth and final starting flight of the Main Event, is set to begin at 5:15 p.m.
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lucas Vergara | United States | 1,454,000 |
| 2 | Alen Habib | United States | 1,097,000 |
| 3 | Michael Cohen | United States | 932,000 |
| 4 | Andrew Porter | United States | 854,000 |
| 5 | Jeff Gibson | United States | 787,000 |
| 6 | Richard Smith (NJ) | United States | 701,000 |

| 10 | Ilya Ashmyan | United States | 581,000 |
So far, 37 players have secured their spot from Day 2 from the first two starting flights. They are led by Lucas Vergara, who ended Day 1b with 1,454,000. Vergara is most closely followed by Day 1a chip leader Alen Habib, who is the only other player so far to bring a seven-figure stack into Day 2 with 1,097,000.
Others to advance from one of the first two starting flights include Andrew Porter (854,000), Travis Hartshorn (636,000), Keith Becker (498,000), and Kevin Grabel (446,000).
Day 1d features nearly an identical structure to the first three starting flights, with the only difference being that Day 1d is a turbo, with blind levels increasing every 20 minutes instead of every 30 minutes. Players start with 50,000 in chips, worth 250 big blinds at Level 1. Registration closes at the start of Level 13, at approximately midnight. A short break will take place after every six levels. The action will conclude when 12.5% of the field (rounded down) remains, at which point all surviving players will be in the money and advance to Day 2. The surviving players from each starting flight will then return for Day 2 tomorrow, March 15 at noon to play down to a winner.
