The RunGood Poker Series makes its final stop on the road to the RunGood Cup at Downstream Casino Resort in Quapaw, Oklahoma this week. We’ll be awarding eleven $2,000 Blaycation prize packages which include the buy-in to the RunGood Cup Championship Event at Harrah’s New Orleans, hotel accommodations, VIP tickets to private RG Cup events, and travel cash to get you to the Big Easy.
Day 1 kicked off with two starting flights in the $180 NLHE Deepstack event, sporting a $25,000 guaranteed prize pool. A total of 320 players entered the event, obliterating the guarantee with a prize pool of $44,800, to which we’ve added a $2,000 New Orleans Blaycation prize package which will be awarded to our first place finisher. When play ended at 2:00 a.m. Tuesday, just 60 players remained.
Roger Laughlin emerged as the chip leader during the first flight with 151,000 chips. RG pro Chance Kornuth, who is making his first appearance at a RunGood Poker Series, topped that (albeit on his second bullet) by nearly 100,000 chips—finishing the day with a stack of 249,000. The 60 remaining players from both flights will combine for Day 2 at noon on Thursday and play down to a winner.
