Welcome to Day 1a of RunGood Poker Series Downstream Casino Resort
After some time off, the RunGood Poker Series has returned, this time with an event at Downstream Casino Resort in Quapaw, Okla. The $675 Main Event is set to kick off with the first of three starting flights at 7 p.m. local time. The plan for Day 1a is to play 13 levels, each lasting 30 minutes apiece. Blinds will begin at 25/50 and each player will start with 20,000. Ten minute breaks will be given every four levels, and players may reenter as many times as they wish for the first eight levels.
The prize pool features a $100,000 guarantee, and in addition cash prizes, the final table participants will all bink $2,000 Blaycation packages to the season-ending RunGood Championship, which will be held in New Orleans.
Last October, RunGood's main event here at Downstream drew 262 entries, and Mark Martin took it down when the dust had settled, topping a final table that included RunGood Pros Justin Gardenhire, Michael Sanders, and Ryan Tepen. This fall's event is sure to be another good one, so stay tuned here for all of the live reporting.

Spriggs Doubles Early
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
We found Rodney Spriggs raising an opponent's 1,500 bet to 4,500 on a 
board. The bettor, who was in the big blind, moved all in, and Spriggs snap-called, since he had 
for aces full. His opponent turned over 
for trips and Spriggs' stack of 16,425 was counted down and he received a full double.
Spriggs has more than $200,000 in lifetime tournament cashes, and he got third at RunGood Hard Rock Tulsa just a couple of months ago for $14,410.

Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
RunGood Pro Amanda Baker was in the big blind and bet 3,600 on a board of 
against an opponent in the cutoff, who made the call. Baker fired 5,000 more on the 
river, and her opponent thought for awhile.
"Kings?" she wondered aloud.
Eventually, she did toss in a call, and her read proved nearly correct as Baker revealed . The player in the cutoff mucked 
face-up.
Baker's fellow RunGood Pro Chris Conrad also registered for the tournament.

Spriggs Folds a Big One
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Rodney Spriggs was in the big blind and he check-called 600 from Mike Tang on a 
flop. Spriggs came out firing with 1,000 on the 
turn, and Tang called. On the 
river, Spriggs bet 2,000. Tang tossed out 5,600 after thinking awhile, and Spriggs took less than 30 seconds to muck the 
face-up.
"Other one wasn't strong enough, huh?" Tang asked as he slid his cards muckward.
"It was strong," Spriggs assured him.
