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.
