RecPoker, an official partner of the RunGood Poker Series, is here in force for the $575 Main Event, and leading the charge is Steve Fredlund, who is both the founder of RecPoker and the host of the RecPoker Podcast.
Fredlund hosts a weekly podcast called "Chats", which are described on-site as "engaging conversations with wonderful people in the poker community," and recent guests include many prominent poker figures, such as Kenny Hallaert, Kevin Mathers, and even 2014 WSOP Main Event champ Martin Jacobson. Another weekly podcast called "Forums" is hosted by Jim Reid, and focus on strategy conversations sparked by the extensive threads in the RecPoker forums.
With an array of free content and a supportive community, some of whom have joined up with Fredlund in the "RecPoker House" nearby to attend this week's events, it's easy to see why RecPoker is a well-respected and popular site for engaging poker content.
Fredlund has already entered today's flight, and we'll keep an eye on his progress throughout the day.

RunGood Pro Daniel Lowery is no stranger to success at the tables, and Arkansas' all-time leader in live tournament earnings (more than $2 million to date) has taken his seat in today's huge Day 1a flight in hopes of navigating his way to another RunGood Poker Series Final Table.
In a recent hand, after a player opened to 400 from under the gun, Lowery, who also boasts nine WSOPC rings to his credit, called on the button, as did the big blind. Lowery bet 500 on the 
flop after being checked to, and only the under-the-gun player called. The 
turn and 
river were checked down, and Lowery mucked after the under-the-gun player tabled 
for a rivered pair of tens.

Mark Fink led out for 1,000 from the small blind on a 
board, and the big blind called. Thadd Wolff in middle position flicked a chip in to call as well, and the trio saw the 
fall on the river.
Fink checked, as did the big blind, and Wolff fired in a bet of 3,100. Fink quickly folded, but the big blind tanked for a minute before tossing in a call. Wolff tabled 
for trips, and the big blind mucked.

RecPoker founder Steve Fredlund raised to 300 from middle position, and was called by Taylor Howard in the hijack, as well as the button and big blind.
After the big blind checked the 
flop, Fredlund tossed in a 5k chip and announced a bet of 1,100. All three of Fredlund's opponents folded and he took down the small pot.

Four players were in action on a 
board, and the small blind checked to Papa Karn, who bet 800 from the big blind. A player in middle position was the only one to make the call.
Both players checked the 
river, and Karn tabled 
.
"Ace plays, nice hand," said the middle-position player, tabling 
before conceding the pot.

A player in the cutoff had 2,300 in front of him, and was contemplating the four-bet to 6,600 from Tony Birney in early position.
"Aces?" the cutoff asked Birney. Without getting a response, the cutoff jammed and Birney quickly called off his 18,100 chip stack.
Tony Birney: 
Opponent:
Birney did indeed have aces, and no king came on a 
runout to preserve Birney's double.
