$250 Super Stack NLH (Re-Entry) $25,000 Guaranteed | Structure Level 10: 600/1,200 with a 1,200 ante Players Remaining: 54 of 109
Flight B is playing down a bit slower than Flight A so we’re not seeing as many huge stacks as we did at this point yesterday. The two biggest belong to Brandon Schwartz and Courtney Webb.
Schwartz is sitting with 142,000 while Webb is a few chips behind with 136,000.
The next break is coming up at 2:15 pm and we will start to see some moves with players trying to catch Flight A leader Lisa Teebagy’s 411,000.

Flight B reached the sixth level of the day and time is running out to join the fun. Registration will remain open through Level 6 and the first break before closing. But have no fear, you still have the last flight at 5 pm if you miss out this afternoon.
A few new players in the field include Courtney Webb, fresh off a big score in Hollywood, and RunGood Ambassador Chris Conrad.

The Flight B field is quickly filling in with a lot of players in the game and more lined up to get a seat. The prize pool topped $35,000 in the first hour and it will get a lot bigger before registration closes.
We found a lot of Coco Poker regulars in today’s field including Pavel Ivan and Andre Bryan mixing it up. A lot of familiar faces joining those who came to town for the RunGood series.
2021 RunGood Series Seminole Casino Coconut Creek Event 2 $130 Opening Night Ring Event $10,000 Guaranteed Entries: 211 Prize Pool: $20,678 August 23, 2021
Event 1 kicked off the RunGood series but Event 2 awarded the first ring. The $130 Opening Night Ring Event drew a huge 211-entry field and Lucas Tae walked away with the title along with $5,028 after a long heads-up battle with Kimani McKoy.
The field more than doubled the $10,000 guarantee and put $20,678 in the prize pool. The last 27 spots were paid and the tournament quickly moved into the money. Action slowed down once they reached the final table including a heads-up match that lasted longer than two hours.
Tae won the match, earned the ring, and picked up a big payout for a small buy-in; the new jewelry going along nicely with his WSOP Circuit ring. Tae recently pushed his career total over $100,000 with a second-place finish in a SHRPO event in Hollywood a few weeks ago and rode his heater to the title.
The win also means Tae sits atop the RunGood Casino Champion Leaderboard leaderboard. The player with the most points at the end of the series will earn tournament seats to a 64-player capped event streamed from inside the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. There are four events remaining so plenty of time to earn those points.
As expected, RunGood Event 1 hit the $25,000 guarantee as soon as cards went in the air. The 33 entries at the start of the day put the combined total at 130 for a $26,650 prize pool with registration in Flight B available until 12:15 pm and Flight C starting at 5 pm.
