Burson Leads Flight 1c Into Day 2 Of The RGPS $800 Graton Main Event
Flight 1c began today at 11 am, and saw a total of 292 entrants try for their shot at a bag. After 17 levels played out, the field was reduced to 36. Each one of them guaranteed a minimum cash and a shot for the title on Sunday, October 29th.
Leading the way is Sean Burson who ended their day with 548,000. Burson’s best finish at this very event saw him final table the 2022. He ended his journey in 7th place for $17,010, but with his bag here today he will look to better it tomorrow. With the second largest stack in the tournament so far, the California resident will be looking to add to his $264,305 in lifetime earnings on Hendon Mob.

Not all were able to find bags on this flight. Players like Daniel Lowery, PokerGO Commentator Jeff Platt, Jagdeep Bal, Brett Murray, and WSOP bracelet winner Pat Lyons will have to look to the following and final flight for their shot at the $500,000 guaranteed prizepool.
Play ended in Level 17 today, so it is ensured that play will go to one of the earlier levels as both the prior flights ended earlier than it.
Coverage for the main event will now take a break. Check back in later tonight for updates on the final flight and seat assignments.
