Welcome to Flights B and C of the RGPS Council Bluffs $575 Main Event
The GPI-Award Winning Mid Major Tour of 2019, RunGood Poker Series continues Saturday with the final two starting flights of the $575 Main Event.
Though this tournament features a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool, the 114 entries from Flight A have already generated over half of that figure ($63,270). This means the guarantee is likely to be obliterated before the start of Flight C!
Of the 114 to join Flight A, Eric Atchison is the player to catch among the 23that advanced, finishing the day with 303,500 in chips. No other player finished Day 1a with more than 200,000; Atchison's closest competitor, Mark Lafata, bagged 180,500.
Flight B will see cards in the air at noon local time with players receiving 20,000 in starting chips. Twelve levels of 30 minutes each are on the docket, with 15-minute breaks at the completion of every four levels or two hours of play. The day will reach its conclusion at around 6:30 p.m. local time, just in time for Flight C’s 7 p.m. start time. Like the flights that came before it, Flight C will feature an identical structure as the final opportunity to advance to Day 2.
PokerNews will be on the floor covering all the action across both starting flights. Make sure to stick around.

Jerry Moore Takes a Seat
RGPS Main Event Champion Jerry Moore has taken a seat in Flight B. Moore won the RGPS Old West Main Event at the Hard Rock in Tulsa in November of 2018, taking home $35,917. Moore hails from Omaha, Nebraska and hopes to put up a repeat performance on his home turf.
Elsewhere in the field, a number of players who fell short in flight A have returned to try again for a Day 2 seat, including: Dave Queen, Kelly Vande Mheen, Sarah Zeluf, Terry Gardner, Scott Buller, Eric Barkdoll, Mike Fouts, and Paul Strohm.
Be Like Mike
If we kept the records for an all-time money list for RunGood Events, Mike Fouts would likely be in the top 10. He won the RGPS Main Event here in February 2018 for $36,780 and finished sixth in the RGPS Main Event in Kansas City for another $9,557. In all, Fouts has $49,292 in cashes at RunGood Events.
Fouts came up short in Flight A but is back in action today with his sights set on yet another final table.
Jimenez Eliminates Ziskin
RGPS final tablist Andy Ziskin raised from under-the-gun to 500. Adrian Jimenez called, next to act; the button and small blind also called.
The flop came 
and Ziskin continued for 1,200 after the small blind checked. Jimenez raised to 3,200 and the action folded back to Ziskin, who called.
On the 
turn, both players checked, and the 
completed the board on the river.
Ziskin considered briefly before betting 7,000. Jimenez paused for just as long, and then announced he was all-in. Ziskin quicky called and tabled 
for the nut flush.
Jimenez turned over 
, however, for a full house, sending Ziskin to the rail.

Bernard Lee Takes a Seat
RG Ambassador Bernard Lee has entered the fray in flight B. Perhaps best known for his 13th-place finish in the 2005 WSOP $10,000 Main Event for $400,000, Lee has since made a name for himself both on and off the felt. A tournament specialist, Lee has collected a whopping $2,388,527 in tournament winnings during his career.
Off the felt, Lee has promoted the game through a variety of media. Since September 2005, Lee has written the Sunday poker column for the Boston Herald. In April 2006, Lee joined the ESPN.com Poker website as a regular columnist. Beginning in 2007, Lee has hosted his own poker podcast/radio show, The Bernard Lee Poker Show. Not to mention numerous guest and guest-hosting and commentary appearances across all major poker media outlets.
All this in addition to publishing two books, The Final Table, Volumes I and II (2008).
But the highlight of Lee's work in poker are his charitable endeavors. Lee helps to organize All-In for CP charity poker tournaments to advance medical research and treatment for cerebral palsy. In addition, Lee spearheads the Full House Charity Program, which provides customized gifts for homeless families and children.
As for his performance at the RunGood Poker Series, Lee won the title at the inaugural RGPS Main Event at Downstream in March 2014, something he's keen to repeat this weekend.
