Ian Steinman’s amazing run continues at Run It Up Reno
Day 1B has wrapped up and boy was it a big day! We pulled in 277 entries to bring the total number of entries in the Run It Up Reno Main Event to exactly 500! The prize pool now sits at $261,900 and the payout information will be released at some point early on Day 2.
As expected, the day got off to a strong start but it was professional poker pro Ian Steinman who continued his streak and ended with one of the top stacks on the day with 240,000 chips. The chip leader to end Day 1B, and now overall across two days, is Jonathan Pawlson with 422,000. RIU trophy winner Paul Sampson sits in second with 309,500 with William Gitmed (245,500), and poker pro Ronnie Bardah (234,000) rounding out the top five counts.
