Russell Davies

Today begins the final day of The RunGood Poker Series Checkpoint at Jamul Casino In San Diego, California. The conclusion of the $600 Main Event kicking off the day at 12 pm, while multiple one day events begin and end at the same time.

Last year saw Nova Baghdasarian best a field of 460 entrants to take home a first place prize of $40,950 after a heads up deal with Rich Alsup. A new champion is sure to emerge this year with a grand total of 533 entrants who came out to play this year’s iteration, putting the prizepool at $277,160 with a first place prize at $52,820.

Leading the 67 entrants into Day 2 is Russell Davies, who bagged a whopping 727,000 during the second flight of the tournament. Davies is no stranger to deep runs in big tournaments, holding just over $250,000 in lifetime earnings on Hendon Mob dating back to 2006, but a victory in a RGPS event has eluded him thus far. With his massive chip stack, he looks to change that and add this ring to his resume.
