Day 1b Started

Welcome to Day 1b of RunGood Poker Series Hard Rock Tulsa

Mike Tang

There's a double-header on tap today in Tulsa, Okla. At noon, Day 1b of RunGood Poker Series Hard Rock Tulsa kicks off for a 12-level flight. That will be followed by Day 1c, which begins at 7 p.m. for a full day of poker action here in the heart of Oklahoma.

Yesterday, Day 1a drew a total of 94 runners for $675 apiece, and RunGood Pro Jonathan Gaviao stood above the rest when the dust settled as he bagged 192,500. He'll be joined by two fellow RunGood Pros: Colossus final table participant Ray Henson, who bagged 107,000 and Clint Tolbert, who finished with 48,500. A total of 21 survived the day.

For each Day 1 flight scheduled today, another 12 levels will be played, starting with blinds of 25/50 and progressing through 1,200/2,400/400. Players will start with stacks of 20,000 and each level will be 30 minutes, with a short break after every four levels. Players may reenter as many times as they wish through the first eight levels.

Some of those we expect to see today after falling short on Day 1a: Justin Gardenhire, Greg Jennings, Rodney Spriggs, Ben Reason, Mike Tang, and Will Berry.

Bit of Value for Presley

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Terry Presley had a rough Day 1a, dusting off a couple of bullets, but he's back in action on Day 1b. In one recent pot that had a bit over 4,000 in it, he bet 1,000 from the cutoff on a board of {7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs} and his opponent on the button called. Presley showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and took down the pot.

RunGood Pro Bybee Off and Running

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Greg Jennings bet 525 from the button after two checks on a board of {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. RunGood Pro Ross Bybee called from under the gun, as did another player in the pot. Everyone checked the {q-Hearts}, and Bybee turned {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} over. Nobody could beat it. Bybee took this event down last year for more than $26,000 as part of a four-way chop.

Jennings Accidentally Min-Bets

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

We found Ross Bybee with a T5,000 chip in front of him on the button, representing an unknown bet amount on a {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} board. Greg Jennings check-raised to 5,600 from middle position, and Bybee called. On the river, Jennings flicked his last T100 chip in the pot, thinking he was moving all in. But, the dealer hadn't given him change from the two T5,000 chips he put in when he announced his raise. The bet was ruled to be 100, and Bybee called.

Jennings showed {5-Spades}{3-Spades} for a flopped straight.

"I cost myself 4,000," he said.
