Action has come to an end for Flight B of the RPT Tri-State Poker Championship at Dakota Magic Hotel & Casino, following 16 intense levels of play. From a field of 188 entries, just 27 players survived the night, each already in the money and locked into Sunday’s Championship Day.

They’ll be joining the 25 qualifiers from Day 1A, bringing the total field returning Sunday to 52 players — all eyeing the trophy, the title, and the $35,000 top prize! 💰

Leading the charge is Jamie Meidinger, who dominated play from start to finish, bagging a massive 1,427,000 to take the overall chip lead into Championship Day. The North Dakota standout continues a stellar run, fresh off his victory at the RPT South Dakota State Poker Championship, where he earned over $90,000 earlier this year.
