Four From Hard Stop

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The hard stop comes at 14 players and there are currently 18 players remaining. It's anyone's guess as to if they play out the level or bag up early.

"Party with Gardy"

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Four players went to a raised flop of {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, Justin Gardenhire bet 11,000 and Eric Bunch raised to 31,000.

"Well I guess I'm all in then," Gardenhire said, moving his stack forward.

It was another 40,000 or so for Bunch to call and he elected to fold.

"Party with Gardy," Ray Henson said.

John Reynolds Eliminates Wild Bill

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

While our attention was on one table with Eric Bunch and Pete Petree playing a sizable pot there was an elimination at the other table.

The board was {K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{J-Spades}, Donnelly moved all in and Reynolds snap-called holding {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} for the straight and Donnelly held {J-}{10-}. The river came {5-Hearts} and Donnelly was eliminated.

The final flight of the RunGood Poker Main Event at the Hard Rock Tulsa wrapped up shy of 2 am and advanced 17 players to Sunday. Jody Briscoe edged out Eric Bunch and Justin Gardenhire for the lead after bagging up 257,000.

The total field across three flights was 286 entrants with 58 players returning for Day 2. The first flight drew 82 players with 19 moving on, Saturday's first flight drew 110 entrants with 22 moving on.

Play stalled during Levels 9, 10 and 11 during the final flight. The field hovered in the mid-30s before the final level saw a dozen players hit the rail. But it was nothing compared to the parade of players Jose Montes sent packing during the last level of Day 1B.

The unofficial prize pool comes in at $168,740 - crushing the $100,000 guarantee - and will pay out the top 36 finishers. The official prize pool is to be released before the start of play and we'll post the payouts as soon as we get them.

Cards hit the air at noon Sunday with 58 hopefuls playing for the trophy. Keep right here at PokerNews to follow all the action until we crown a winner.

Local players Ray Henson, Pete Petree, Mike Tang and Greg Jennings all advanced to Day 2 out of the final flight.
