Two full starting flights played to their conclusion Saturday inside the Horseshoe Casino Tunica for the 2023 RunGood Poker Series Tunica $600 Main Event. Day 1b started at 11 a.m. and drew 251 entries and Day 1c’s 6 p.m. start added another 233 to that tally, bringing the grand total to 661 entries for the tournament.

Coming into the day, Truman Weatherly was the one to catch with 723,000, and only one person, Devin Wells, was able to top that number by bagging a whopping 848,000 in Day 1c. In total, 31 players advanced from the first flight, and another 29 made it through later in the evening, meaning 82 players from the 661 total entries will return for Sunday’s Day 2 at high noon local time to play down to a winner.

Other notables on that list from today include RunGood Ambassadors Preston McEwen (202,000), Cody Stanford(124,000), and Bart Bogard (165,000) who all managed to find bags in the final flight of this event. A few other big stacks from today included Shannon Hamblen (554,000), Brian Winter (538,000), and Thomas SInes (493,000).
