At about half past midnight in Reno, Nevada, Ty Saragas and Robert Fein found all the money in the middle for what was to be the final hand of the $125 Thursday Thrilla No-Limit Hold'em tournament at Jason Somerville's Run it Up Reno. After the final card hit on the river, it was victory for Fein, as he took home $2,505 for the win, the gold trophy, and the right to be called a Run It Up champion.
Saragas and the other seven players that reached the final table along with Fein all earned $1,505 as part of a nine-way deal. An additional $1,000 was left aside for the winner, and $575 was given by the group to the dealers.
Finishing in fourth place was Alex Huot. He earned the same prize as everyone else, but his finish came with a little icing on the cake in the form of a $565 Main Event seat. Huot was the final Run it Up warrior standing that was sporting Run It Up gear, giving him the win in the last-longer contest that comes with every gold trophy event at the festival.
Finishing in fifth place was Oskar Sandberg, who added another $1,505 to his pocket after he won yesterday's $125 Survivor No-Limit Hold'em event for $1,383. Not bad for a two-day take for the man all the way from Sweden.
Another notable face at the final table was Kevin O'Donnell, and he placed ninth.
While that wraps up the coverage from this event, you can be sure to tune right back in to PokerNews.com on Friday for coverage of the $565 Main Event starting at 12 p.m. local time. We'll see you then.
