Todd Smith won a huge hand toward the end of Day 1a of the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Horseshoe Bossier City to secure the chip lead (343,000) moving forward into Day 2. He had queens on an eight-high board, got it in three ways, and held to bag the big stack.
He leads the surviving 28 players, of 133 entries, from the first of three flights in the latest RGPS Showbound $575 Main Event. There are two more flights on Saturday at noon and at 7 p.m.
Run Good Ambassadors Chris Conrad and Ray Henson will be queuing up for the next flights after failing to make it through Day 1a. Meanwhile, LFG Podcast host Jamie Kerstetter (81,000) and Mina Greco (24,000) booked their tickets to the Day 2 restart Sunday at noon.
Mason "Uncle Ron" Hinkle, Chris Horter, Kris Burchfield, and Ben Mintz all failed to bag the first starting flight and will likely join the field at some point during either Day 1b or 1c.
All the updates will be right here on d9y.shop all weekend as the RGPS moves one step closer to crowning its next Main Event champion, and sending ten more players to the Showbound satellite in Tulsa for a shot at playing on Poker After Dark.

The board read

Rivkin: 
Smith: 
Player 3: 
The turn was the 
and the river was the
