Sawyer Loses Some

Connor Richards

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Rachel Sawyer, who happens to be wearing the same outfits as RunGood's own Hayley Hochstetler, opened to 3,000 in middle position and the big blind three-bet jammed a stack of 19,500 in the big blind. Sawyer called with a bigger stack.

Big Blind: 7♦7♠ All in
Rachel Sawyer: A♥10♣

Sawyer took the lead with a pair of tens on the flop of 10♠3♠2♠, but the 5♠ river gave the big blind a lock on things with a flush before the A♦ river confirmed his double. It was a short-lived victory as the player's seat was seen empty a few minutes later.

Papa Karn Survives a "Fun Runout"

Connor Richards

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

David Pierson opened to 2,000 and two players called before Terakun Karnchanakphan three-bet jammed a stack of around 12,000. Pierson re-raised to 25,000 to get the two players in between to fold.

Terakun Karnchanakphan: 10♠10♦ All in
David Pierson: K♠10♣

Karnchanakphan was in good shape to double, but the flop of 4♥A♠J♠ and 2♠ turn gave his opponent plenty of outs. Nonetheless, the 2♥ bricked off on the river to earn a double.

"That was a fun runout!" remarked a player at the table.
