Level 17
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Action has wrapped up in Day 1c of the $1,200 Main Event here at the RunGood Poker Series Passport Season Dallas hosted by Palace Poker. Of the 69 runners who started the day, only 8 players will return for Day 2 on Sunday, all of whom are already in the money.
RunGood Ambassador Daniel Lowery bagged the overwhelming chip lead, finishing as the only player in the first three starting flights to reach the seven-figure mark. He went on a massive heater during the last few levels of play and never slowed down, even assisting with bursting the bubble when he knocked out Caio Sobral in a blind-versus-blind confrontation.
Donna Gadd (426,000) finished the day second in chips after doubling up with Cowboys on the bubble against Jason Thompson (243,000). Scot Fahrenbruch's heart got a workout as he doubled up not once, but twice on the bubble to earn a top-three stack with 380,000.

Notable Eliminations
RunGood Ambassador Wade Warren was in the mix, but couldn't find any momentum on Day 1c. Palace Poker Ambassador James Coyle fired another bullet after falling short on Day 1a, but wasn't able to secure a bag.
Randy "3Coin" Sadler ran head first into Gadd's quads, but was a good sport about it and wished his opponent well. Mason "Milkman" Vieth was eliminated shortly after, when Joe Cho woke up with Big Slick on the button.
Day 1d is currently underway and Day 1e and 1f will take place on Saturday, March 28 at 11:00 am and 5:00 p.m., respectively. Day 1g is the final flight and will be a turbo beginning at 10:00 p.m.
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, where the event will play down to a winner.

Level 17
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Action folded around to Daniel Lowery in the small blind, who moved all in to put Caio Sobral at risk in the big blind who had a little over 100,000 to start the hand. Sobral made the call.
Caio Sobral: J♠7♠ 
Daniel Lowery: Q♠4♣
Sobral picked up additional outs with a gutshot on the 8♥6♠4♥ flop, but was unable to get there as the board ran out K♥, 9♦, sending him to the exit on the stone bubble.
"Only the nuts," said Lowery, as he added to his mountain of chips.
Level 17
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Scot Fahrenbruch moved all in on the button for 178,000 and was called by Daniel Lowery in the big blind, who covered.
Scot Fahrenbruch: K♥10♥
Daniel Lowery: K♣9♦
The 9♥ was the window card with the 6♠ and 8♥ completing the flop. The K♦ landed on the turn, improving Lowery to two pair, kings and nines, but Fahrenbruch found a heart on the Q♥ river to make a flush.
Level: 17
Blinds: 8,000/16,000
Ante: 16,000
Level 16
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The remaining nine players have been sent on a 15-minute break and will return to blinds at 8,000/16,000 with a 16,000 big blind ante.
Level 16
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Jason Thompson raised to 48,000 under the gun and Donna Gadd flatted in late position.
The flop came J♣7♥10♠, Thompson continued for 50,000, and Gadd quickly moved all in to put herself at risk.
"How much is it?" asked Thompson, before the dealer confirmed that the bet was 165,000 total. Thompson elected to make the call.
Donna Gadd: K♠K♣
Jason Thompson: A♦Q♣
Gadd would need to dodge an ace or a king to stay alive, and she did just that when the board ran out 2♦, 6♦.
"That's my one courtesy double up," said Thompson as the pot was pushed Gadd's way.
