After an exciting (and rather interesting) Day 1a of the RGPS $800 Main Event at Hard Rock Tulsa, 20 players of the total 160 have bagged up to return on Sunday at high noon for Day 2. These entries generated a prizepool of $112,000, which means the guarantee has already been hit and is projected to reach close to $300,000.
The final two starting flights will take place today, with Day 1b kicking off bright and early at 11:00 a.m. while Day 1c will have an evening start at 6:00 p.m.
The stack to beat for today belongs to one Zachary Smith, who bagged the chip lead last night as he went on a heater to secure 608,000 chips in his bag.
Players to fire the 1a session and bust before bagging included former champion Pete Petree, RunGood Ambassadors Michael Lech and Kasey Mills, as well as RGPS regular Steven Glasscock, who unfortunately busted just a few spots from the money.
As with Day 1a, players will begin with 30,000 in chips, with the blinds beginning at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Every level will last 30 minutes, with 15-minute breaks after every four levels. After level 8, players will go on their final break before registration closes and play will continue until 12.5% of the field remains, which will see the remaining players bag up to return Day 2, in the money. Those who do not find a bag in this flight can exercise their right to re-enter the third and final flight beginning tonight at 6:00 p.m
