2003 WSOP Main Event Champion Chris Moneymaker near the top on Day 2
It’s Day 2 of the record-breaking Run It Up Reno Main Event and it’s a big one! A total of 500 entries came together for this $150,000 guaranteed tournament and that number was blown out of the water.
The prize pool sits at $261,900 and will have 101 runners coming back at Noon to fight it out until a winner is crowned. About 80 spots will make the money (16%) and the prize pool will be posted once the tournament staff at the Peppermill has verified it.
Seating assignments by Last Name are available below.
The chip leader coming in to the day is Jonathan Pawlson with 422,000 after having a strong end to Day 1B. He is followed by 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Chris Moneymaker with 313,500, in the hunt for his first piece of RIU gold. Dale Fenton (313,000), Paul Sampson (309,5000), and David Spurr (263,000) round out the top five.

The day will begin with Level 15: 2,000/4,000/500 and will play 40-minute levels until the next Run It Up Reno champion is crowned! The defending champion is Loren Klein and we didn’t see him in the field, so a brand new winner is in sight.
