Bryan Doubles Through Phan

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Small blind Ryan Phan bet 3,000 on a {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop, and Jeff Bryan made it 7,000 from the small blind. Phan shipped it to put Bryan at risk for his remaining few thousand, and Bryan called it off.

Bryan: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Phan: {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Bryan faded the straight draw as {j-Spades} and {9-Hearts} hit the board.

"I'm surprised you called," he said.

"Backdoor flush draw," Phan said with a laugh. "I was committed."

Rodawig Off to a Fast Start

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Eric Rodawig
Eric Rodawig

We found big blind Eric Rodawig raising all in over a bet of 3,100 from the player on the button on a board of {2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. Rodawig's opponent asked for a count, and the total was around 14,000 more. He folded after about another minute.

Rodawig is a regular in the limit events at the World Series of Poker and made the unofficial final table of a $1,500 Stud Hi-Low event this summer. He took home a bracelet in 2011 when he won the $10,000 Stud Hi-Low Championship for more than $440,000.

Lawson Fades Four Outs

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Jon Lawson bet 1,000 from middle position and got a call before the small blind made it 3,000. Lawson came back with 7,000, chasing away the squeezed player on the {k-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop. The small blind called, and the turn was a {j-Hearts}. The small blind checked and Lawson bet 6,000. The small blind shipped all in and Lawson snapped.

Lawson: {2-}{2-}
Opponent: {k-}{j-}

Lawson needed to fade only kings and jacks, and the river was the {5-Hearts}.

We found Mike Tang in the big blind considering a bet of 6,150 from Justin Gardenhire on a board of {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{a-Spades}. The bet was about double the pot, and Tang flashed Gardenhire the {q-Clubs}.

"Queen of clubs?" Gardenhire said. "Oh, you're never folding.

"Alright," Tang said after thinking a bit. "I'll call."

Gardenhire said he couldn't beat it and Tang showed {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

Tang has cashed in two previous RunGood main events, including a second-place finish at RunGood Downstream last year for $22,334. Gardenhire was also at that final table, where he finished third for $15,091.

"I Had That Beat the Whole Way"

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

A player in the small blind bet 2,00 on an {8-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} board, and Bryan Campanello raised to 5,500 in middle position. A third player folded, and the small blind called. The river brought a four-straight with the {9-Diamonds}, and the small blind checked. Campanello went with a smaller bet of 2,300, and the big blind tanked awhile and showed {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} but mucked.

"I had that beat the whole way," Campanello declared.

Bryan Finds a Big Fold Early

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Jeff Bryan opened for 250 and saw the player in the cutoff make it 550. The player on the button cold four-bet to 2,500, and Bryan thought awhile and folded, instructing the dealer to separate his cards so he could show them to his opponents after the hand. The cutoff called and then check-folded to a bet on the {j-}{j-}{7-} flop.

The player on the button flashed Bryan the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}, and Bryan told the dealer to flip over his {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.
