Gonzalez and Daniele Get Funky

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Jason Daniele limped in from middle position, as did the small blind. Drew Gonzalez raised to 2,000 in the big blind, and only Daniele called.

Gonzalez bet 500 on the {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop.

"500?" Daniele asked.

"Weird, I know," Gonzalez replied. Daniele raised to 2,300 and Gonzalez called.

Both players checked the {a-Diamonds} turn, and the {3-Diamonds} fell on the river. Gonzalez bet 500 again and Daniele called, saying, "You're good," as he did.

Gonzalez tabled {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}, and Daniele then turned over {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, winning the pot.

Zarate Shoves, Gets No Takers

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Cory Tardy Claims RIU Reno IX Short Deck Title

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

While PokerNews is focused on bringing you live updates from the $600 Main Event, we also wanted to share some winner news from earlier in the Run It Up Reno IX. There have been several champions crowned at the Peppermill, and tens of thousands of dollars awarded.

For instance, in Event #6: $235 Short Deck Double Stack, 116 runners surpassed the $15K GTD by creating a $22,504 prize pool that was paid to the top 19 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Jon Turner (11th - $500), Michael Trivett (12th - $500), Sarah Sherman (16th - $400), and Austin Roberts (19th - $400).

In the end, Cory Tardy of Las Vegas, a regular at RIU Reno, finally broke through to win his first RIU trophy, good for $5,690 in prize money.

Guevara's Overbet Gets It Done

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

With what appeared to be about 20,000 already in the pot, the player in the hijack checked to Nick Guevara on a {2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} board.

Guevara, on the cutoff, put in an overbet, making it 35,000 to go. The hijack went into the tank for awhile before folding, and with that big pot Guevara is over the 100k mark on Day 1a.
