52 Have Victory In Sight in RGPS Jamul Main Event
The RunGood Poker Series $600 Main Event, saw a total of 407 entrants smash the prize pool guarantee set on the event. Only 52 players have secured themselves a piece of the $211,640 prize pool, each with an assured $960, but all eyes rest on the $42,875 and the Main Event ring that will be awarded to the winner.
Leading the field and looking to continue a career best week is Francisco Anzar, who sits with 831,000. After winning his first ever RGPS ring in Event #4: $250 Deepstack, Anzar now sits with the only stack over one hundred big blinds heading into the second Day of the Main Event. Already having quadrupled his lifetime earnings with the series this week, he is looking to multiply them once more and take down a massive title to add to his growing resume.
