Final Three Flights are Last Chance to Bag for Sunday
The final three starting flights of the $1,200 Main Event are on the agenda today as the RunGood Poker Series Passport Season Dallas continues at Palace Poker. Day 1e kicks off at 11:00 a.m. local time and Day 1f gets underway in the afternoon at 5:00 p.m. Day 1g is the last flight and will be a turbo beginning at 10:00 p.m.
The tournament features a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool, with an overlay projected heading into Saturday’s action. Players who advance from each flight will combine and return for Day 2 on Sunday, March 29, where a winner will be crowned.
Through Day 1d, a total of 179 entries have been tallied, and with the busiest day on the schedule left to be had, that number is anticipated to climb substantially. As of now, only 21 of those competitors will be advancing to Day 2, all of whom are already in the money.
RunGood Ambassador Daniel Lowery, the Day 1c chip leader, tops the overall counts with a whopping 1,293,000. Closest behind him is Day 1b chip leader Sharon Aloor with 745,000, while Charles Keisling (661,000), who topped Day 1d, rounds out the podium.

Players will begin each starting flight with 50,000 in chips, and blinds will begin at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Blinds will be 30 minutes during the Day 1 flights and 40 minutes during Day 2. Late registration is open until the start of Level 9, and unlimited reentries are allowed.
Should a player choose to play multiple Day 1 flights, only the highest qualifying stack will be permitted to continue to Day 2. Any lower stack(s) will be removed from play at the start of Day 2 and receive a min-cash.
Play for Day 1 flights will conclude once 12.5% of the field (rounded down) remains, and those who bag will be in the money. Day 2 will then start at the earliest blind level of the seven flights on Sunday, March 29, and play down to a winner.
