A massive field of 813 entrants turned up for the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Contenders Horseshoe Council Bluffs $575 Main Event, 137 of whom returned for Sunday's Day 2 hopeful to claim the title. Up for grabs to the eventual winner was the first-place prize of $80,853 along with the RGPS trophy and a seat to the next RunGood ProAm event held in Las Vegas at the end of the year.
Thirteen hours after cards went in the air, four players were left standing and agreed to an even chop of $48,771 apiece while leaving the trophy and the ProAm seat to play for.
