Two flights down, two more to go in the RunGood Poker Series Passport Pennsylvania $800 Main Event as players look to join seven survivors from the opening day by earning a spot in the money at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course.
The next chance comes in Day 1c, which gets underway at 11:00 a.m. local time as everyone eyes the guaranteed $60,000 prize pool. That will be followed by the final flight at 5:00 p.m. with both fields filling up the poker room until bags are required at the end of the night.
A total of 64 entries have been recorded so far, and the early pace has been set by overall chip leader Vernon Yoder after a dominant Day 1a flight to finish with 605,000 chips. Yoder is joined at the top of the leaderboard by Taerim Ku, who topped the late-night field to bag 427,000.
