Welcome to Day 2 of RunGood Poker Series Hard Rock Tulsa

Day 2 has arrived after three starting flights at RunGood Hard Rock Tulsa, and there will be 74 players in contention for the $45,595 first-place prize, which also features a $10,000 World Series of Poker Seat added on.

First and foremost among them is World Poker Tour champion and High Roller regular Olivier Busquet, who amassed a monstrous stack of 382,500, which will be good for well over 100 big blinds when play resumes at Level 13 (1,500/3,000/500). Busquet is trailed by notables like Mina Greco (129,000), Chris Conrad (126,500), Tripp Kirk (122,000), and Justin Gardenhire (99,500).

Levels have been bumped up to 45 minutes, so the structure will slow down considerably from the 30-minute level of Day 1, and the plan is to play through Level 21 and have a 45-minute dinner break. The money bubble will break when 36 players remain, so stay tuned to the live updates to see how the tournament progresses.

Karn Finds Early Double

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

Terry Karn got it in from the big blind with {a-}{7-} and was able to hold against an opponent on the button who had {j-}{10-}. He's trying to ship the Main Event after winning the Deepstack for about $10,000 just days ago.

Busquet Getting the Best of Haq

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

Early on, Olivier Busquet has already eliminated two players and he's doing his best to make Hasan Haq a third. Haq called a Busquet open and the two got it in on a {10-}{8-}{7-} flop with Haq holding {j-}{9-} and Busquet {j-}{j-}. The river was a nine to make both players identical straights.

Later, Haq defended his blind and check-called a bet from Busquet on a {5-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop. Both players checked the {k-Clubs}, and Haq announced 20,000 on the {5-Clubs} river. Busquet thought awhile and moved all in, and Haq tank-folded for his last 75,000.

Two Outer Doesn't Stop Greco

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

A player in early position limped and called a raise to 12,000 from RunGood Team Pro Mina Greco. The flop came {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, and the two got all in after a raising war with Greco holding {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and her opponent having flopped a set with {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. No matter, as an {a-Clubs} arrived on the river, causing Greco to pump her fist in celebration.

Busquet Finishes Haq

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

Olivier Busquet opened for a raise and saw Hasan Haq jam it in from the button. Busquet got a count — about 70,000 — and thought a bit before opting for a call.

Busquet: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Haq: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

"Don't you be hitting any gutters on me now," Haq said, following an earlier discussion about the chances of hitting gutshots after Busquet binked one on him.

Amazingly enough, the flop did come {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, giving Busquet a gutter.

"Backdoor flush draw," Haq observed.

He words were prescient again as a {3-Hearts} gave Busquet more outs. The dealer brought forth the river, and it was the {10-Clubs}, completing Busquet's gutshot straight draw.

"Good hand, man," Haq said as he headed for the doors.

Henson Gets a "Gift"

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

Ray Henson shoved all in for 51,500 from early position after an opponent bet 15,000 out of the blinds on a {2-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop.

"Gift," his opponent said as he pushed in calling chips after a couple of minutes.

Henson: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Henson's nines held up through the {j-Clubs} turn and {7-Hearts} river.
