Michael Sanders
Michael Sanders

Action was picked up in a four way pot with Michael Sanders in the small blind and Loi Hoang in the big blind with 2,500 in the middle.

The flop of 9♣9♠8♥ saw action check around to the 7♣ turn where Sanders bet 1,000 which Hoang and the hijack called.

Action checked through on the 3♣ river as SAnders turned over Q♥8♣ for nines and eights which was good for the pot.

Another Turn For Phan

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up on the turn between Donnie Phan in late position, a player on the button and another in the big blind with 7,500 in the center.

The board read 9♥8♥6♦7♥ and the big blind bet 6,000 to which Phan responded by moving all in for 18,700. The button called having Phan covered, while the big blind sigh called for less to put himself at risk and the three way all in saw all cards turned up.

Big blind: A♥10♠
Donnie Phan: Q♥3♥
Button: A♠10♥

Phan had to fade one opponent's nut flush draw and another's straight flush draw. He managed to do both on the 5♦ river and he scooped another massive pot on the heels of his double up.

Phan's A Fan of The Turn

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up with cards on their backs between Donnie Phan and another player after Fan had moved all in for his last 11,800, which his opponent called.

Donnie Phan: 10♥10♠
Opponent: Q♣Q♠

The flop of 4♥4♦2♥ saw no help to Phan, but the turn 10♦ gave Phan tens full of fours and it held on the 6♠ river as he doubled courtesy of the ten on the turn.

Davis Doubles With a Set; Lowery and Lemery Enter

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Action was picked up with cards on their backs with Mark Davis all in and at risk for his last 8,900 against the big blind who had called to put him at risk.

Mark Davis: 3♠3♦
Big Blind: K♥Q♠

The door card being a K♠ looked to be a poor result for Davis, with the following card being a Q♣. The drama came to a head when the final card on the flop was a 3♥ giving Davis a set and leaving him with four outs to fade. He faded them on the 10♦6♠ runout and the WPT champion doubled up.

In the tournament, Daniel Lowery and Dylan Lemery entered for the first time today, while Donovan Dean re-entered.

The Introduction of The Big Blind Ante Rule

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

For the first time, The RunGood Poker Series is implementing the first use of The Big Blind Protection Rule for all of the tournaments occurring at Horseshoe Tunica.

Implemented, the rule states that a player who has come off of a broken table having just paid the big and small blind who would have been on the button will not come into the big blind at their new table.

"The idea was that we didn't want a player having to pay four blinds all in a row, effectively five big blinds," says tournament director Mike Murphy "now when we come up to break a table, the person that just paid both blinds that would have been on the button, will get protection that if they go to the new table and their first hand would have been the big blind where they would have been paying two more blinds, they will sit out until the button passes and then come in."

The rule will be further implemented in the next RunGood Poker Series stop in Baltimore, Maryland next weekend.

Blinds: 200/300
