The starting flights are finished and the RunGood Poker Series $575 Main Event at Harrah's Kansas City is ready to move on to Day 2.
The final flight drew 205 entries and 46 players made it through to join the survivors from the first two flights when the main event restarts Sunday at noon. The restart will see 103 players return for their shot at a Signature Championship ring as part of the Game Seven season for the RGPS and the top prize. Cody Coffman will enter the day as the overall chip leader after bagging 295,000 in the opening flight on Thursday night.
Nick Burris, Zachary Carroll, and Travis Taylor are the top stacks from Day 1c.
Burris, who is a previous RGPS Main Event champion, was heading to the door at one point today, but then made a four-card flush and managed to run up his stack to over 200,000. He eliminated Dylan Meier with set over set and then kept rolling and bagged 260,500.
Carroll made it through with 226,000. Taylor made a late run but still ended up with 219,000, which is good enough for seventh overall heading into Sunday.
This is the final Main Event of the RGPS Game Seven season and with 482 players it's sure to be quite the finale. All of the updates and photos for the final day of the event will be here on PokerNews.com. It all begins Sunday at noon as 103 players compete to be the newest RGPS Main Event champion.
