Trent Johnson raised to 18,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Morgan McBrayer for the only call from the big blind.
The flop was 10♣2♦K♦ and McBrayer check-called a bet of 2,200 to see 7♣ on the turn.
McBrayer check-called again, this time for 7,400.
The river was 6♥ and McBrayer checked one more time before Johnson slid out a big stack of T-5,000 chips. McBrayer shook her head and tossed her cards in the muck as Johnson showed 10♥10♠.

Building off the success of the opening events in Tulsa and San Diego, the RunGood Poker Series continues taking Destination RunGood on the road to nine more stops throughout the first half of 2024.
