Daryl Oppelt

On a heads-up completed board of 338105, there was over 850,000 in the middle when Daryl Oppelt moved all in for 680,000, sending Mike Vanier into the tank.

After almost three minutes, he finally set out a stack of chips to call, which deflated Oppelt as he flipped over [6c7c[ for seven-high. Vanier then tabled 85 for eights and fives to scoop the pot, eliminating Oppelt in 10th place.

Jack Do
Jack Do

On a three-way flop of 582, Gabe Neighbors moved all in for around 1,400,000 and Jack Do called behind for less. The action was then on Jon Gibbs who tanked for a long while before he let out a deep sigh and flashed 67 before he sent them into the muck.

Jack Do: KQ
Gabe Neighbors : 1010

"Ah, I know he have tens or jacks but i have pot odds!" Do tried to explain his reasoning, but he was not rewarded as the baord ran out 59 for Neighbors to win the pot.

Gibbs was kicking himself for folding as he would have made a straight and Do made his way to the exit in 13th place.

Hinkle's Aces Trump Howard's Sevens; Klumb KOs Sudan

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Blair Hinkle
Blair Hinkle

After an open from Blair Hinkle to 25,000, Taylor Howard moved all in for 117,000. Robert Sudan made the call from the big blind and Hinkle also just called.

On the flop 8K5, Sudan led for 50,000 into the side pot and Hinkle thought for a few seconds before making the call.

The turn was the Q and Sudan decided to slow down and check, at which point Hinkle moved all in to cover him. Sutton quickly folded and the cards were tabled between Hinkle and Howard.

Taylor Howard: 77 All in
Blair Hinkle : AA

Howard could only catch a seven to stay alive, but the river 10 did not provide and he was sent to the payout desk.

Ironically, Sudan moved all in the very next hand with 77 and was called by Tyler Klumb with AJ. The runout of J4K52 paired Klumb's jack to earn him the pot while Sudan was eliminated.

RGPS Rings

The RunGood Poker Series Destination: Council Bluffs sees the final day of play begin today at noon. The initial field of 648 has been reduced to just 80 players, each of them looking to emerge as the champion.

Leading the charge is Nick Barksdale with an impressive stack of 824,000. Barksdale is no stranger to tournament poker as his Hendon Mob puts him at just under $400,000 in earnings. Behind him is local Stephen 'Concrete Steve' Moy with 693,000 and in third is Abbas Pasha with 641,000. Judging by the way the flights have been going, today is going to be full of action with a lot of intuitive poker being played. Another player not to overlook is 2023 Spring Champ Joshua Kopp who is still in the running coming back with 167,000 and is definitely looking to get a second title.
