Akram Assadi Bags the Biggest Stack After Two Saturday Starting Flights
Days 1b and 1c of the Run Good Poker Series (RGPS) Tunica Horseshoe Main Event is in the bag and Sim Therrell is the overall chip leader heading into Day 2 with 238,500. Akran Assadi (231,500) and Richard Bolden (208,500) both made a good run at taking the top spot from Therrell on Day 1bc, but fell short. They were still the only three players to bag more than 200,000.
Many of the Run Good ambassadors fired a few bullets but were unable to find a bag. Dan Lowery (92,500), Mason Hinkle (44,000), and Kyle Cartwright (178,000) are through to Day 2. Meanwhile, Dan "Wretchy" Martin, Keith Ferrera, Emily Larson, and Clint Tolbert are on the outside looking in.
There were 495 total entries with 360 of those playing Saturday during the Day 1b and 1c flights. The total prize pool is $247,500 and the first-place prize will be $56,924.
Day 2 of the RGPS Tunica Horseshoe Main Event will restart at noon Sunday. It will be a little bit of a shorter wait thanks to daylight savings time, which will move the clocks forward an hour.
