The final flight of the $600 RGPS Reno Main Event saw a total of 54 entrants come out to play. This pushed the tournament over the guarantee as a total of $153,510 was collected for the prize pool to be divided up among the final 39 tomorrow morning.

Seven players joined them from this flight and leading the way is Dustin Cavanaugh who ended his day with 400,000. According to The Hendon Mob, the $850 will be Cavanaugh’s first recorded score. It was a very tumultuous flight for Cavanaugh, but he did manage a late night rally to soar up the counts to the overall lead. He just barely edged out Ritika Manwani (377,000) who spent much of the later levels of the tournament as the biggest stack. She took a massive pot off of Kasey Orr late in the night and she remained at the top of the counts for a while until Cavanaugh burst the bubble at the end of the night.

Day 1d Chip Counts

Place	Player	Chip Counts
1	Dustin Cavanaugh	400,000
2	Ritika Manwani	377,000
3	Cliff Ellefson	233,000
4	Gage Locke	209,000
5	Dallas Elwell	163,000
6	Jordan Cushman	119,000
7	Michael P Harris	119,000

Others that bagged were Cliff Ellefson (233,000), Gage Locke (209,000), Dallas Elwell (168,000), and Michael P Harris (119,000). Jordan Cushman (119,000) also bagged and sits in fifth place in the NAPT player of the series. He has secured himself some points as he guns for the top spot. While all still have a chance for that pass, he sits comfortably ahead of most of the pack in that regard.

Not all of the players in the field today received such fortune. Julie Cornelius, Deb Wall, Jeffrey Day, and Kasey Orr were among the fallen from today. Joey Gargiulo finished on the very last hand of the night, leaving his hopes of taking the NAPT Golden Player of the Series squarely on one final event. All of their hopes for a RunGood Main Event will have to come at another stop in the future.

Play ended with 24:32 left in Level 14 with blinds at 4,000/8,000 with a 8,000 big blind ante. This will be the time and place that the players will return to on Sunday October 13th at 12:00 pm unless another flight ends earlier than this. Stay tuned to PokerNews for all updates on the RunGood Poker Series Main Event at The Atlantis Casino in Reno, Nevada.

The biggest flight yet of the $600 RGPS Main Event at Atlantis Casino in Reno, Nevada saw a total of 119 players come out to get a piece of the $150,000 guaranteed prize pool. Just 15 players survived at day's end with a chance to become the next main event champion.

Leading the way is Scott Stewart who ended their day with 652,000 in their stack. Stewart is a RGPS ring winner himself, but many will know him from his long list of power accolades that include 6 WSOPC rings and $2,937,207 in lifetime earnings. He amassed a massive stack as he soared up the chip counts, utilizing his many years of poker experience to navigate fields and now sits with the only stack over 600k in the whole field. He will be a dangerous force to reckon with on Day

It was not a day for successes from the RGPS Ambassadors as Conrad Simpson, Julie Cornelius, Corey Paggeot, and Jamie Kerstetter all found themselves unable to secure a bag. They joined the rail with others like Garry Gates, Randy Gil, Jeffrey Day, and current NAPT player of the series leaders Michael Johns, Janet Moore, and Joey Gargiulo. With one more flight to go, they will have their sights set on bagging as the event nears its guarantee.

Play ended with 24:32 left in Level 14 during yesterday's flight with blinds at 4,000/8,000 with a 8,000 big blind ante. This will be the time and place that the players will return to on Sunday October 13th at 12:00 pm unless the final flight ends earlier than this.

Niveau 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Michael "Murph" Murphy raised to 5,000 in middle position which saw the small blind call and the big blind raised to 12,000 which both Murphy and the small blind called.

The flop rolled out A♠6♣6♦ and the small blind checked to the big blind who bet 8,000 which only Murphy called.

On the turn 3♣, the big blind checked over to Murphy who bet 16,000 and the big blind responded by moving all in for 49,500 effective. Murphy sat back in his chair as he pondered the decision for all of his chips and most of his opponent's. After a couple of minutes, he put in the chips and said "show me ace-king."

Michael "Murph" Murphy: A♣J♠ All in
Big blind: A♥K♥

Murphy shook his head and began to stand out of his seat, but the river J♣ had other ideas in mind as Murphy made aces and jacks to take a massive pot at the expense of his opponent.

"You played that one good," Murphy said as he raked in the pot "I played that horribly."

Michael Johns Deepstack Dominance Continues With His 3rd RGPS Ring

Niveau 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

One of the two multi-flight events of the nine-event series was the $300 Deepstack. On Wednesday, the two flights kicked off and collected a total of 199 entrants into the tournament to create a prizepool of $47,760.

Only 26 players saw any piece of that prize pool and a variety of names familiar to the Rungood circuit battled to get a piece. Players like Andrew Fredericks (21st-$575), Julie Cornelius (17th-$718), Billy Casey (9th-$1,125), and Joseph Mussat (4th-$2,980) all fell short of the title that they all wanted.

It became a heads up match between Matthew Betti and Michael Johns, both very decorated players in their own right. Betti held a slight lead over the Johns for some of the heads up match, but the tournament defining hand came when Johns flopped a set of eights and Betti held a gutshot straight flush draw. Both players got all of their chips in and the set of eights held for Johns to take a massive lead. After that, Johns continued to dominate and Betti ended his run in second place, good for $8,155.

It was just a few weeks ago that Michael Johns had won his second RGPS ring in Tunica, and he continues to make his mark on the RGPS circuit with this newest title. All of his rings have been in Deepstacks and he is putting some distance between himself and others on this years RGPS player of the year. He won 115 points on the NAPT golden player of the series leaderboard but given that he had already won his pass in Tunica, he cannot win a second pass. The NAPT race remains quite competitive and exciting here at Reno.

1	Michael Johns	$11,750
2	Matthew Betti	$8,155

Niveau 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was picked up on the river in a massive pot between Conrad Simpson and Arturo Ricabal.

With a sizable pot already built and a board reading 4♦4♥8♣3♥10♦, Simpson moved all in for 55,500 which sent Ricabal into the tank. After some time he sighed and put in the chips to call.

Conrad Simpson: A♠4♣ All in
Arturo Ricabal: 10♥5♥

The river had paired up Ricabal's ten but Simpson's three fours were good for the pot as he took a massive pot off of Ricabal.
