: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Play has concluded for Day 1e of the $1,200 Main Event here at the RunGood Poker Series Passport Season Dallas hosted by Palace Poker. Of the 154 runners who started the day, only 19 players will return for Day 2 on Sunday, all of whom are already in the money.
Tyler Burke (1,009,000) ascended to the top of the leaderboard, finishing as the only player to surpass the million-chip mark in the first of three flights on Saturday. During the final few hours of play, he saw his stack swell from around 100,000 to seven figures. Burke currently sits second in the overall chip counts heading into the final day of action.
Justin Dreiling also surged late in the day and bagged an impressive 862,000 to finish second, while Samuel Jones secured a top-three stack with 624,000.

Players to Keep an Eye On
Local grinder Zak Baron, who is no stranger to the Dallas poker scene, ended day 1e with 282,000. RunGood Ambassador Daniel Hughes (260,000) had an up-and-down day but found a bag for Day 2. Debbie Lee, who bubbled Day 1a, avoided the same fate and will return on Sunday with 143,000.
Those Who Fell Short
RunGood Ambassador Bart Bogard threw his hat in the ring on Day 1e, but couldn't get anything going. Alex Loveless, also a RunGood Ambassador, was eliminated shortly after late registration closed when she ran into pocket aces. Not long after, Alexander "Wolfgang" Seibt got it all in on the flop with a flush draw, but there were no hearts to be found.
Day 1f is currently underway, and a live stream of the featured table is available on YouTube. Day 1g is the final flight and will be a turbo beginning at 10:00 p.m.
Play in Day 1 flights will conclude once 12.5% of the field (rounded down) remains, and those who bag chips will be in the money. Day 2 will then start at the earliest blind level among the seven flights on Sunday, March 29, where the event will play down to a winner.

Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Gary Eastwood got it all in for 155,000 on the button against Kamran Jamal in the big blind, who slightly covered.
Gary Eastwood: K♣J♠ 
Kamran Jamal: A♣Q♦
Eastwood pulled ahead on the 9♣J♣7♣ flop, pairing his jack, but Jamal still had plenty of outs with overs and the nut flush draw.
The 4♥ turn and 9♦ river were bricks for Jamal, leaving him with just 19,000.
The next hand, it folded around to Justin Akins on the button, who limped, and Jamal moved all in to put himself at risk. Zachary Baron called in the big blind and Akins tossed in the extra 7,000 as well.
Baron and Akins checked it down to the river on a board of A♣10♥J♠3♦Q♦ and Akins tabled the winner with 9♦8♠ for a straight, besting the J♥9♣ of Jamal and the 10♠4♣ of Baron.
