The RunGood Main Event is on the verge of topping its $50,000 with less than 20 more entries needed to get there. A great start with a lot more expected with late registration available until 2:30 pm.

We found a few Coco Poker legends in early action. Howard Mash won back-to-back events here during Coco Poker Open in 2015 then went big to win the 2019 WSOP Seniors Event. Pedro Palacio owns a WSOP Circuit ring and two final table appearances in this series. Since our regular poker tournaments resumed, Palacio has won ten of them in 2021.

That’s pretty good.
