Level 10:  600/1,200 with a 1,200 ante
Day 1A Entries:  186

Loni Hui was one of the late entries as the clock ticks down to closing registration. We caught up with her in a three-way pot with the flop reading .

She checked, Pedro Palacio moved all in for 16,400 and Dimitry Agrachov called on the button. Hui called all in at risk for 13,800 and the cards were tabled.

Hui:
Palacio:
Agrachov:

Hui flopped the joint and was dominating the other two who needed to catch running cards to beat her. The turn locked up the hand to leave Palacio and Agrachov drawing dead to the river.

Hui tripled up, Palacio picked up a tiny rebate with his queens, and the hit didn’t hurt Agrachov that hard.

Loni Hui – 65,200 (54 bb)
Pedro Palacio – 5,20000 (4 bb)
Dimitry Agrachov – 120,000 (100 bb)

Players keep showing up and jumping into the first flight of the first event of the RunGood Poker Series. With 170 entries so far, the tournament is already more than halfway to the $100,000 guarantee so that milestone will be hit tomorrow and we can start aiming higher.

Level 7:  300/600 with a 600 ante
Day 1A Entries:  150

Players are back from break with an even 150 entries with many more expected over the next two hours of play. That $100,000 guarantee is going to be crushed with two more weekend flights to go.

David McMahon made the most of his first two hours in the Poker Room and leads the field after the break with 113,900. We found two more stacks over 100K with Dan Blackburn (106,500) and Julio Ruiz (103,900) the closest to McMahon.

Day 1A Entries:  143

The first break is here and players were sent on their first 15-minute break. A perfect time to catch their breath and maybe grab a drink in the bar/lounge area.

We will track down our early big stacks while they were gone and see who is in early contention.

Level 6:  300/500 with a 500 ante
Day 1A Entries:  130

Flight A rolled into the sixth level of the day and the last one at 20 minutes. They will take a break soon and return to levels running 30 minutes for the duration of the tournament.

A few more friendly faces include Lisa Teebagy, Michael Tait, Scott Zakheim, Mark Cannon, and Errol Massey.

We mentioned David Albertson won the Casino Championship during the last series but he had to come from behind to get there. Teebagy was in contention to take that title with three cashes during the five-tournament series, including a runner-up in the opening Super Stack, but she was pipped when Albertson finished fourth in the main.

The Flight A field is filling in nicely as players wake up and take a shot at the tournament. The entry count is quickly up to 75 with three hours of late registration remaining.

David Albertson is back in action and hoping to have another great series. We hosted our first RunGood Poker Series in September and Albertson topped the Casino Championship leaderboard after winning the $250 opening event and running deep in the $600 Main Event for a fourth-place finish.
