On Saturday, the final two flights on the 2019 RunGood Poker Series Council Bluffs Main Event played out. Day 1b attracted 152 entrants while the Day 1c flight drew 130 runners to bring the total field up to 399 entries.

Accomplished poker pro Blair Hinkle bagged the lead on 1b with 243,500. That was thanks in part to a 100,000 pot where he flopped top two against a flush draw. Early in the day, Hinkle changed tables with about 12,000 and hit two sets in a row to build up to 60,000 and never looked back.

Others to bag the flight were Shane Fuller (236,500), Cody Bartlett (212,000), and Michael Childers (200,000), who all broke the 200,000 mark but still find themselves well behind Day 1a chip leader Jovan Sudar, who will start Day 2 with the chip lead holding 348,500.

Meanwhile on Day 1c, Thadd Wolf finished atop the counts with 312,000, which gives him the second biggest stack headed into Day 2. Andy Van Blair (266,000), Kyle McKinney (195,500), and Nicholas Burris (166,000) make up the rest of the top four chip stacks from Day 1c.

Run Good Ambassador Julie Cornelius also managed to bag 43,500 in the final flight and will also join Day 2 field.
