Deuces Giveth...

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Rodney Spriggs
Rodney Spriggs

Hasan Haq bet 18,000 under the gun on a {2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades} flop, and Rodney Spriggs took awhile to think before moving all in for 55,500. Four or five players had seen the flop and everyone else mucked fairly quickly.

Spriggs: {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Haq: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Haq, who had won a huge pot with a set of twos on Day 1c, had the tables turned as Spriggs flopped his two-outer. The {5-Spades} turn and {7-Clubs} river were bricks.

Ran Into the Idiot

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Daniel Hughes pushed all in for 50,000 in early position, and the player on his left shoved as well. Everyone else mucked.

Hughes: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

"Be a good time to hit a five," Hughes observed.

That's exactly what happened as the board rolled out {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

"Sorry," Hughes told his opponent. "You ran into the idiot at the table."

Blanken Eliminates White

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Mike White
Mike White

John Blanken opened for 9,000 in middle position and called the shove of Mike White, who had about 40,000 in the big blind.

Blanken: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
White: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}

Blanken had White dominated, but White did flop a pair as {9-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Diamonds} arrived. The {4-Hearts} was a brick though, as was the {3-Spades} river.

Phahurat Out in Battle of Short Stacks

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
AP Phahurat
AP Phahurat

We found AP Phahurat all in preflop with {a-Hearts}{7-Spades} in front of him in the cutoff, while big blind Austin Peek had {j-Spades}{9-Spades} and covered Phahurat by 500. The {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flopped, giving Peek a big lead, and the {6-Diamonds} and {7-Hearts} were no help to Phahurat.

It's time for another winner to be crowned on the RunGood Poker Series here at Downstream Casino, the last stop on the tour before the season-ending RunGood Cup Championship in New Orleans.

A total of 48 runners have advanced through three starting flights to today's Day 2. Tops among them in terms of chip count is Hasan Haq, who will bring 211,500, but Terry Presley is just a hair behind at 211,000. They'll be joined by fellow big stacks Bryan Phahurat (172,500), Joey McCaig (171,000), and John Heckenkamp (169,500).

Also making an appearance will be a gaggle of RunGood Pros — Chris Conrad (142,000), Jonathan Gaviao (130,500), Ray Henson (96,500), Bernard Lee (96,000), and Julie Anna Cornelius (41,000) will all be representing the brand and fighting for victory.

Play is set to begin at noon and continue until a winner is crowned, with levels lasting 45 minutes until the final table, at which point they move to one hour. That winner will bank $25,522 along with a $2,000 Blaycation package to the aforementioned RunGood Cup Championship. All final table participants will win the packages.

Twenty-one players will cash, so the money bubble should burst fairly early in the day. Stay tuned to see how it turns out.
