Another busy day at The Lodge Card Club saw the second flight of the 2026 RunGood Summer Series $600 Main Event wrap up, with the next 12 players earning a spot in the money. The Day 1b field drew 97 new entries, bringing the overall tournament total to 200 through the first two flights on the way to hitting the guaranteed $250,000 prize pool.
The remaining dozen survivors will now join the 13 players who bagged Day 1a, returning to battle for a spot at the final table on Sunday, June 21.
Sitting atop the counts after the second day of action is Caleb Levesque, who brought the night to an early end by bursting the bubble and bagging up 715,000 chips.
Austin's Lee Webb held the lead for much of the final few levels, settling for second place on the leaderboard with 508,000. Webb played in the RGPS Passport Season stop back in January, looking for some RunGood success this weekend.
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Caleb Levesque | United States | 715,000 |
| 2 | Lee Webb | United States | 508,000 |
| 3 | Matthew Lawrence | United States | 502,000 |
| 4 | Francis Deesing | United States | 463,000 |
| 5 | Cameron Mixson | United States | 418,000 |
| 6 | Benjamin Calhoun | United States | 355,000 |
| 7 | Joshua Collins | United States | 270,000 |
| 8 | Aaron McEvoy | United States | 208,000 |
| 9 | Adam Levy | United States | 172,000 |
| 10 | Benjamin Gonzalez | United States | 115,000 |
| 11 | John Goff | United States | 90,000 |
| 12 | Hassan Mihankhah | United States | 65,000 |
Rounding out the top three in the counts is RGPS Ambassador Matthew Lawrence, who ran tens into queens on his first bullet before finding success later in the night.
Another pair of tens left Lawrence short after the end of late registration, but he found a big double before betting Webb off a straight on the money bubble to soar up the leaderboard.
One of the hands of the day came in Level 5, when Kilo Krahn spiked the river to knock out a pair of players. Krahn was unable to find a bag, losing a flip to Levesque just prior to hand-for-hand play.
Another big hand saw Reitta Seidel flop a set to cooler Francis Deesing early in the day. Seidel made a deep run only to come up short of the money, while Deesing took full advantage of his reentry to bag up fourth in chips with 463,000.
Adam Levy was at risk on Level 7, but found a four to double and propell him on to Day 2. Hassan Mihankhah did one better later in the day, cracking aces to triple and stay alive. Mihankhah lost some ground after that, and bagged up the shortest stack of the day with 65,000 chips.
The final hand of the night was the end for Alexander Goldberg, who called off his last big blind and fell to Levesque's set.

Stay tuned for full counts, along with a recap of the second Main Event flight.
Action folded around to Caleb Levesque in the small blind, who slid out a raise to put Alexander Goldberg all in from the big blind. Goldberg quickly called his last 8,000, and the cards were turned up.
Alexander Goldberg: Q♥7♦
Caleb Levesque: 4♣4♦
Goldberg saw a queen in the window of the 3♠4♠Q♣ flop, but it was followed by a four to give Levesque a set. Goldberg was unable to improve on the J♥ turn or 6♠ river, exiting on the bubble in 13th place.
That left the rest of the players in the money, and bags were distributed at the tables.
Lee Webb raised to 21,000 in the cutoff, and Matthew Lawrence stuck in a call from the small blind. Lawrence checked the 6♠9♠8♦ flop, and Webb fired 25,000 into the middle.
The call was made, and Lawrence checked again on the Q♥ turn. Another bet of 25,000 from Webb was called, and Lawrence led out for 120,000 on the J♠ river.
That sent his opponent into the tank, with Webb eventually showing 10♦7♦ for a flopped straight as he folded.
With 13 players remaining and 12 spots in the money, the tournament is being played hand for hand.
Kilo Krahn was all in from the cutoff, at risk against Caleb Levesque in the small blind.
Kilo Krahn: 5♠5♦
Caleb Levesque: A♣7♣
Levesque hit his ace on the 8♣8♠A♦3♥2♠ board, besting Krahn to secure the knockout.
At the same time, Dee Wampler hit the rail at table 30.
Francis Deesing opened in early position, and Hassan Mihankhah made the call in middle position. Aaron McEvoy moved all in for his last 29,000 in the cutoff, and Caleb Levesque promptly four-bet to 87,000 on the button.
Deesing got out of the way, and Mihankhah confirmed the raise amount before making the call.
Mihankhah checked the 2♥K♦8♠ flop and called again after Levesque continued for 20,000. The Q♣ turn produced a pair of checks, and Mihankhah led out for 25,000 on the 4♠ river.
Levesque folded to give Mihankhah the side pot, and the final two hands were turned up.
Aaron McEvoy: A♣Q♦
Hassan Mihankhah: 10♣10♥
Mihankhah revealed his pocket tens, but McEvoy revealed his pair of queens to stay alive.
At the other table, Matthew Lawrence was collecting a big pot after doubling up.
