Ryan Fetherkile Takes Overall Chip Lead Into Day 2 of Record Breaking RGPS Horseshoe Council Bluffs Main Event
Level 13
: 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
A record-setting day awaited the RunGood Poker Series Hollywood Council Bluffs $575 Main Event, as Day 1b (277 entrants) and Day 1c (304 entrants) brought the total field to a RGPS record 852 entrants. Of the 581 entrants in today's two flights, just 108 (47 from 1a, 61 from 1b) made it through to Day 2, joining the 55 that earned their ticket in Friday's Day 1a.
Of the two flights, the overall chip leader of the day was Day 1b's Ryan Fetherkile, who bagged up 297,500 chips to take the lead. Fetherkile's rise to the top was punctuated by a kings over queens battle that netted him a large pot in the latter stages of the day, which helped him narrowly edge Horseshoe Council Bluffs poker dealer Michael Briggs (254,000) for the day's chip lead.
Day 1b's chip leader was Kip Smith, who bagged 283,000 to fall a few thousand chips shy of the aforementioned Fetherkile Day 2. Smith was at an action table for the latter portion of the day, with Twitch Streamer Alex "AlexOptional" Green (100,000) and Timothy Sciscoe (224,000) both at the table, and the trio traded blows for much of the day. Smith ended up as the victor in terms of chips, and takes over 90 big blinds to Day 2.
Not everyone was able to make it through to Day 2, however, including RunGood Ambassadors Daniel Lowery and Emily Larson, Luke Blindert, Bryan Skreens, and Pete Dirksen.
Day 2 will kick off at Noon on Sunday, June 27th, with the remaining 163 players playing down to a champion. Play will resume with 15-minutes remaining in Level 13 (2,000/3,000 ante 3,000), and levels will be 45-minutes in length for the remainder of the tournament.
PokerNews will be here providing all the action from start to finish, so be sure to stay tuned as we crown the latest RunGood Poker Series champ and award another coveted All Stars Ring and a Pro-Am seat into the All-Stars Event at the end of the year!

Zuron Turns the Nuts
Level 13
: 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
A player on the button raised to 7,000, and was called by Josh Zuron in the small blind, as well as the player in the big blind.
Action checked to the button on the 
flop, and he bet 10,500. Zuron called and the big blind folded.
The fell on the turn, and Zuron checked, but the motion wasn't detected by the dealer or the button, resulting in an unintentional two-minute tank. When the dealer acknowledged the time that had passed, Zuron checked again, apologizing that it took so long. The button jammed for 24,000 and Zuron snap-called.
Josh Zuron: 
Opponent: 
"I wasn't trying to slow-roll," Zuron told his opponent, who accepted Zuron's statement. The 
river failed to fill the button up, and Zuron earned the knockout.

Sipe Escapes With a Triple
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Tim Sipe jammed for 20,700 from early position, and a player in middle position called. The small blind three-bet shoved for 38,900 and the middle-position player called.
Tim Sipe: 
Small Blind: 
Middle Position: 
"Keep 'em low, dealer!" the middle-position player told the dealer.
The 
runout wasn't quite low enough, however, as Sipe, who had turned a straight and flush draw, rivered a pair of tens to take the main pot and triple up, while the middle-position player broke roughly even by eliminating the small blind.

Baggett Jams on Blindert
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Six players saw a 
flop together, and action checked through to the 
turn. Action checked to Kenny Baggett in the hijack, and he bet 6,000. Luke Blindert raised to 14,000 on the button, chasing everyone out back to Baggett.
Baggett didn't take long to come to a decision; an all in three-bet for 49,900. Blindert folded after a few moments of thought.
"Lemme see your hand," Blindert asked Baggett. Baggett simply mucked his hand face-down.
