Sim Therell Bags Chip Lead in Day 1a of RGPS Tunica Horseshoe Main Event
Day 1a of the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Tunica Horseshoe Main Event is over after 12 levels of play and Sim Therrell leads the 30 players heading into Day 2 on Sunday. He bagged 238,500.
Dan “Wretchy” Martin, Clint “CT” Tolbert, and Keith Fererra all played Day 1a and busted, while Kyle Cartwright surged late to come in just behind Therell with 178,000 after losing to a bad beat with pocket kings. Justin Gardenhire also bagged, ending the day with 128,000.
Some of the familiar local players bagged Day 2 as well including Joe Huey (117,000) and Connie Rice (30,000). John Walker, who won his seat from a single-table sit-and-go and was all in blind at one point in the tournament when short and in the big blind, also bagged a stack of 38,500.
The flight drew 135 entries and with satellites still going on, including one at 9 a.m. Saturday morning, the total field looks to be another big number.
There are two more flights Saturday at noon and 7 p.m. local time. Keep up with all the updates right here on PokerNews.com.
