My Stack Run Good, Reporters... Not So Much

Colin Reid was fast approaching 60,000 and keeping us all updated with his intrepid use of PokerNews' My Stack App, when it came time to find out exactly how he'd moved into the chip lead.
Upon approach, this reporter reminded Reid of something he well knows. The My Stack App comes with more than just the ability to update your own chip count into the Live Reporting Blog here on PokerNews. It gives those who use it the uncanny ability to run good.
Reid recounted the story of his early rise that included making 
into trip tens to crack aces, and finding trip queens for another big pot. Then he got involved in another big hand, making it 1,500 over two limps. Four players called, including the limpers, and when it checked to Reid on a 
flop, he bet 5,000.
One player shoved 15,000, the others folded and Reid made the call with the 
. His opponent had the 
and looked to be going home until the 
turn came down and made him a set. The 
river didn't help Reid and he was forced to hand over a double up.
Reid has still got 40,000 and the early lead, but he is now also keenly aware PokerNews reporters do not provide the same type of run good the app does.
