Brentharrington

It's time for the $575 Main Event of the RunGood Poker Series Kansas City at Harrah's North Kansas City. The $100,000 Guarantee tournament will be the final Main Event of the RGPS Game Seven Championship season. Throughout the season and the other events at this stop, players have competed to win the prize money and the Signature Championship rings — awarded to the winner of many of the events throughout the season.

This Main Event is looking to be a big one with each of the preliminary events setting a new record for the stop. The Main Event has three starting flights. The first one is tonight at 7 p.m. and the second flight will start at 7 p.m. Friday. Saturday's Flight C will start at noon.

Each player will start with 20,000 chips and have a dozen 30-minute levels to earn their seat into Day 2, which starts Sunday at noon.

There will still be other tournaments throughout the weekend including a pot-limit Omaha event and a no-limit hold'em Knockout. The weekend's festivities are just getting underway and you can catch all the action and photos from the event all weekend right here on PokerNews.com.

Sandra Main is in the field tonight and she's been playing the preliminary events this week with her husband Kyle.

Main won the $135 Pro Bounty at the RunGood Poker Series Joplin stop this season. The $5,018 was her first career cash.

She added a little to her resume a month later when she cashed an event in Oklahoma for $556. Now she's in the main event and looking for her third cash of her poker career.

So far Kyle has not made an appearance in the main event.

Cody Coffman Bags Day 1a Chip Lead in RGPS Kansas City Main Event

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

The first of three starting flights at the RunGood Poker Series Kansas City main event is over and Cody Coffman has bagged the chip lead in front of 24 other players heading to Day 2.

The opening flight drew 113 entries and several of the RGPS regulars have already moved on to Day 2 including RGPS Council Bluffs main event champion Derrick Contreras (87,500).

Anthony Ernstein catapulted to the front of the chip leaderboard early in the day after a four-way knockout where he flopped two pair and eliminated three players. He would hover around the same stack for much of the night, but fell to his 89,500 — still good for a top-ten stack.

PokerNews podcast host [Removed:139] busted toward the end of the evening to Beau Wilshire, who finished tenth in this event last time the RGPS was in town. Wilshire bagged 161,000.

Kevin Berthelsen (276,500), Wilshire, Ryan Anderson (130,000), and Mason Hinkle (120,000) round out the top five counts heading into Day 2 so far. There are two flights remaining before that though.

The next flight begins on Friday at 7 p.m. The updates and photos of the entire main event will be right here on PokerNews.com
