Scavenger Hunt Winner Schulze in the Mix

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Christopher Schulze
Christopher Schulze

Chrstopher Schulze got back up to around starting stack after winning a small pot, which began with an open raise from Schulze to 600 from the cutoff.

The big blind called, bringing forth a {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{a-Clubs} flop. Schulze bet 600, and the big blind called.

No further betting happened on the {a-Diamonds} turn or {7-Clubs} river, and Schulze showed {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} to take down the pot.

Schulze, who's attended all nine chapters of the Run It Up Reno series, won the RIU IX Scavenger Hunt earlier in the series, which bagged the Minnesota resident flight, hotel, and buy-in to the Main Event at Run It Reno X, set to run in April 2020.

King Keeps Climbing

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

With {q-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{q-Spades} on the board, Jessica King faced a 6,000 bet on the river.

King made the call, showing {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for trips against her opponent's {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. King has been on the winning end of a couple of big pots in the early levels of Day 1b, and she's nearing the 40k mark in chips.

Zhang Makes the Correct Call

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

With a considerable amount of chips already in the middle, a player in the big blind put out a 5,200 bet on a {2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

Hong Zhang went deep into the tank on the button, wondering out loud about what he might be up against. Zhang eventually made the call with {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, and the call was the right one as the opponent said "you're good" and mucked.

Dragoo Dragging Pots

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Cody Dragoo opened to 1,100 from the hijack, and Alan Mastic called from the small blind.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Dragoo bet 1,000 after a check, and Mastic check-raised to 4,000. Dragoo quickly three-bet all in, having Mastic covered, and Mastic snap called.

Alan Mastic: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
Cody Dragoo: {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Dragoo was behind in hand strength but ahead in equity, as a 54 percent favorite going into the turn and river with his overcards and flush draw. One of those outs came home on the river, as the turn fell {a-Diamonds} and the river {j-Hearts}, sending Mastic to the rail.

On the following hand, Dragoo opened to 1,100 from middle position, Chris Lindner three-bet to 3,200 on the button, and Dragoo called.

Lindner continued for 1,800 on the {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop, Dragoo raised to 15,000, and Lindner folded, preserving his last 500 chips.

Good Start Goes Bad For Pekarek

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
John-Paul Portal
John-Paul Portal

$235 Progressive Knockout champ John-Paul Portal raised to 1,200 from the hijack, and was called by the cutoff. The small blind three-bet to 4,500, and $1,100 Thursday Thrilla runner-up Jeremy Pekarek called in the big blind. Portal four-bet shoved for around 35,000, and the cutoff quickly folded, as did the small blind.

"I had a really good start to my day," Pekarek said with a shrug, before calling off his last 25,000.

Jeremy Pekarek: {8-Spades}{7-Spades}
John-Paul Portal: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Pekarek's gamble looked like it would pay big dividends after the {5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop gave him an open-ender to go with his live cards. He bricked off on the {j-Clubs} turn and {2-Hearts} river, however, and he said, "Too many outs? Too many outs." before heading to the cashier to re-enter.
