Day 1c of RGPS bestbet Jacksonville $1,200 Main Event Starts at Noon
Welcome to Day 1c of the RunGood Poker Series Jacksonville $1,200 Main Event hosted here at bestbet. Today’s flight is the third and final of three opening days of the tournament, so entry numbers are expected to be well above the previous two flights. The $300k guarantee was also hit during yesterday’s flight, so all entries today will only be adding to the quickly growing prize pool, which is projected to be over $500,000.
Charles “Chuck” Kelley bagged the biggest stack of Day 1b, earning 368,000 chips to take into Sunday’s Day 2, so Josh Wang of Day 1a still holds the title of largest stack. Notable names that also bagged included RunGood AmbassadorsJamie Kerstetter, David Tuchman, and Ray Henson. Two-time WSOP Bracelet winner Yuval Bronshtein also found a bag from this flight.

There were 195 total entrants in yesterday's Day 1b with 35 of those finding bags with play ending around 10 players off of the money bubble.
Day 1c will get cards in the air at 12:00 noon local time with 14 40-minute levels scheduled, however, it is possible to end earlier if 12.5% of the field is reached, at which point play will be stopped.
Players will start their day with 30,000 chips at opening blinds of 100/200 with no big blind ante until the start of level 2. Registration will remain open until the start of Level 10 which will be approximately 7:30 p.m. and re-entries are unlimited.
Players will have a 15-minute break after every third level, with a 60-minute dinner break at the end of Level 9.
The tournament has a $300,000 guarantee and with 298 total entries on Day 1ab, this tournament has already smacked that number with the largest expected flight still to come.
This is the last and final flight of this event so this is the last shot for players to find a bag for Day 2 and be in the running for the RGPS ring and massive payout.
