Today begins the second day of starting flights of the RunGood Poker Series Road Trip Tunica $600 Main Event at Horseshoe Hotel and Casino. A total of 177 entrants fired in yesterday��s flight, seeing 22 players make it to Day 2, which will resume tomorrow, Sunday, November 12th at noon. Players unhappy with their ending total of the day can choose to play another flight and have it be best bag forward, meaning a double bag will result in the bigger of the two stacks playing on Day 2, and the smaller one accepting a minimum cash.

The current top stack to beat belongs to Truman Weatherly, who bagged up a whopping 723,000 last night in the opening flight with Cory Smith in second with 644,000. Reigning champ Loi Hoang is also still in the running with a small stack of 78,000, but anything can happen once those cards hit the felt.

Players expected to fire today include Ashley ��PokerFaceAsh�� Frank, Cody Stanford, Preston McEwen, Michael Sanders, Bart Bogard, Mark Davis, and Brian Winter, each of whom looking for greater success in this second flight. Those who do not bag will have one more chance in the form of the third flight, beginning at 6 p.m. today.

As with Day 1a, players will begin the tournament with 30,000 chips with levels beginning at 100/200 and a 200 big blind ante. Levels will escalate once every 30 minutes, with a 10-minute break occurring every four levels, then every three levels after level 8. Players will have the option to enter in as many times as they wish in the first eight levels of the tournament. Play will continue until the field plays down 12.5%, then the remaining players will bag up for Sunday, November 12th where they will all be in the money.
