button in SafariThunder Valley to Host Two Starting Flights
Thunder Valley Resort Casino will be the site of two starting flights as the RunGood Poker Series Passport Season Finale will hold Day 1b and 1c of the $600 The Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship as the march continues to the final day of the $500,000 guarantee.
Ricardo Lazo (572,000) will be the stack to beat after a successful Day 1a concluded with Lazo bagging the top stack in the room as Day 1a attracted a total of 118 entries, which permitted 12 to advance onto Day 2.
Last year's champion Sasha Sabbaghian made an appearance on Day 1a, but was unable to gain any traction and advance from the first starting flight. Sabbaghian, as well as any other competitor, will still have plenty of opportunity to take their shot at a starting flight in the pursuit of a RGPS title and ring.
