Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Sebastian Harasim checked a {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} flop from the big blind, and the cutoff bet 2,100 into the 3,100 chip pot. Harasim sprung a check-raise to 7,300, and his opponent tank-called.

The {10-Hearts} fell on the turn, and Harasim announced "All in," pushing his last 16,400 chips in the pot. His opponent quickly folded.

Somerville Scoops Another One

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

One hand after flopping the nut flush and scoring an eventual knockout, Jason Somerville added even more chips to the stack.

Somerville open raised from the hijack, and an opponent on the button called. The flop came {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, and Somerville check-called a 3,000 bet.

Both players checked the {2-Hearts} turn, and Somerville bet 3,500 on the {3-Hearts} river, getting the fold from his opponent.

Somerville Scores a Knockout

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Jason Somerville
Jason Somerville

A player in the big blind bet 4,000 into Jason Somerville on a {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{k-Spades} board.

Somerville, in the cutoff, reraised to 30,000, enough to put the big blind all in if he called. The opponent did indeed make the call, and Somerville showed him the bad news, tabling {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a flopped flush.

The exact action leading to the river is unknown, but Somerville went on to talk about his good fortune in the hand.

"I bet the flop and got three callers," Somerville said to his tablemates. "What do you guys have?"

Apostol, Smith Enter

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Tyson Apostol during Run It Up Reno VIII

Tyson Apostol, winner of Survivor: Blood vs Water, is no stranger to Run It Up Reno, and the Utah native has shown considerable chops in his treks here, with a runner-up performance at the Run It Up Reno V $1,100 Thursday Thrilla Bounty tourney for $11,555. Apostol has taken part in Survivor Watch parties here at Peppermill Reno in the past, and we expect to see him at this year's watch party, which takes place on Wednesday, October 16th at 8 pm at the Sorrento Room.

Also jumping in the field is Midwest grinder Jerod Smith, who is taking some time off from mashing the WSOP Circuit to take a crack at Run It Up Reno fame and fortune. Smith, who nabbed the WSOPC Ameristar St. Charles Casino Championship for entry into the 2020 WSOPC Global Championship, will be here for both the Mini Main event and the Main Event, and we'll be keeping tabs on the duo as the day progesses.

Fenton Finds a Win With Aces

Level 2 : 100/200, 100 ante

DJ Fenton didn't take too long to make the call from the cutoff.

"Good call," Shipley said, before Fenton had even tables his cards. Fenton turned over {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}, scooping the pot.

Preston Sets Up Garyet

Level 2 : 100/200, 100 ante

The big blind checked a {2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop over to Chad Garyet, who bet 1,100 into the 2,000 pot from the hijack. Patrick Preston, who owns a Run It Up Reno trophy from Run It Up Reno VI's $125 All-In or Fold event, raised to 2,800 on the button. The big blind called, and Garyet announced, "Twelve-thousand two-hundred," before placing a stack of chips in the middle. Preston four-bet shoved for 30,200, the big blind folded, and Garyet, who had 7,000 behind, shrugged, then flicked a chip in to call.

Chad Garyet: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Patrick Preston: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

Garyet failed to find a king on the {9-Diamonds} turn or {3-Clubs} river, and Preston scored the knockout with his full house.

Deutsch Doing Damage

Level 2 : 100/200, 100 ante

Lucas Hill opened to 1,100 in the cutoff, Alexander Deutsch three-bet to 3,800, and Hill made the call.

Both players checked the {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop. Hill checked again on the turn, taking a long look at his opponent. Deutsch kept his eyes on the table as he put in a 3,300 bet, and Hill made the call.

The river came {3-Spades}, Hill checked again, and Deutsch thought over the decision for a few moments before deciding on a 6,000 bet. Hill made the call, but mucked when Deutsch showed {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

Tucker Takes From Danforth

Level 2 : 100/200, 100 ante

Joel Danforth raised to 800 from under the gun, and Timothy Tucker called in the big blind.

Tucker checked the {4-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{j-Spades} flop to Danforth, who bet 800. Tucker called.

The {k-Hearts} fell on the turn, and Tucker led out for 3,000. Danforth folded, and Tucker flashed the {a-Diamonds} as he raked in the pot.

An already tough table with Danforth, Jim Petzing and Team partypoker Pro Patrick Tardif got even tougher, as Jon "PearlJammed" Turner took his seat. Elsewhere, Canadian poker pro and Twitch streamer Vanessa Kade also entered the tournament.
