Final Flight of RGPS Cleveland Main Event Fires off at 12:15 p.m. Today!
After 223 entrants came out to play yesterday, the RunGood Resort $1,000 Main Event begins its third day of registration at 12:15 today at JACK Casino in Cleveland, Ohio. This event is the seventh event of the series so far and it will be one of two $1,000 buy-ins, the second of which comes in the form of the $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship.
At the front of the pack is David Berman who ended with an impressive 673,000 after winning several monster pots and applying max pressure throughout the day. Right behind him we have a little sibling rivalry as Billy Kopp, brother of Day 1a chip leader Katie Kopp, bagged up 563,000 to name him second overall in chips for the first two flights. Rounding out the top three for Day 1b and overall chips is Michael Barlow who will return on Day 2 with 505,000.
