Welcome to Day 1b of RunGoodGear.com Downstream Casino
After a Day 1a that saw Terry Presley bag 277,500 to lead the nine survivors, Day 1b of RunGoodGear.com Downstream Casino is set to kick off here outside of Joplin, Mo.
Cards are scheduled to fly at 1 p.m. local time, and the format is an unlimited reentry with a $675 buy in. Entries are allowed through the end of Level 9. Each player will begin with 15,000 in chips, and blinds will be 25/50 to begin, progressing at 30-minute intervals for the first 8 levels before switching to 40-minute levels at Level 9. The tournament will wrap up for the day when 10 percent of the field remains.
Last night, play carried into Level 15, but since the starting fields are usually larger on Saturdays in these weekend tournaments, it could be a longer grind to get down to 10 percent of the field. For Day 2, the tournament will resume at whichever Day 1 time ended earlier.

Neal Stumbles into a Double
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
After an early limp and a middle-position limp, Chris Neal made it 5,050 to go, a raise to 101 big blinds (the T5,000 chips at this venue are close in color to T500). One player attempted to call from the blinds, not realizing the magnitude of the raise. The early limper called, while everyone else folded. A 
flop hit the felt, and the early player announced she was all in.
"You know I didn't mean to do that, right?" Neal said. "I call."
Neal: 
Opponent: 
The miscue had turned in Neal's favor, building a massive pot when he flopped a set. No ace appeared on the last two streets.

Long Bluffs it Off
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
We found Huey Long under the gun with 2,250 in front of him before the flop. He was in a raising war with the cutoff, who put 5,500 in. Long called, and the dealer spread a flop of 
. Long looked down at his stack and then slid it forward. The player in the cutoff thought for about a minute before deciding to call it off.
"I've got nothin'," Long said, turning over 
.
The cutoff didn't have much either, but his 
was in the lead. A 
on the turn locked it up for him, followed by a 
river.
"Neither one of those hands was anything close to what I thought," a player at the table remarked.
The cutoff declined to provide his name.

Long Back to the Grind
Level 2

Huey Long's second entry is off to a better start. He checked from under the gun on an 
flop, and the player to his left checked as well. A middle-position player bet 1,100, and Long called. The third player shoved for 3,325 total, and the bettor folded. Long called.
