Nic Petree Eliminated in 3rd Place ($17,577)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Nic Petree
Nic Petree

Nic Petree raised to 120,000 and Kyle Kinder three-bet on the button to 410,000. Petree went into the tank for almost a full minute before announcing himself all in. Kinder snap-called, asking, "Ace-King?"

"That's good," Petree answered.

Petree - {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Kinder - {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

"Better get an eight up there," Petree muttered.

The board ran out {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and Kinder's king kicker was good for the 3,000,000-chip pot.

Petree exits the tournament in 3rd place and will take home $17,577 plus a seat in the Poker After Dark freeroll at the end of the season.

Shane Fuller Eliminated in 2nd Place ($26,412)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Shane Fuller
Shane Fuller

Heads-up play between Kyle Kinder and 2nd-place finisher Shane Fuller lasted just half a dozen hands. Kinder held a 2:1 chip lead when two-handed play began. Six hands later, it was all over.

In the final hand of the tournament, Kinder raised to 150,000 and Fuller shoved for 1,775,000. Kinder asked for a count and then counted down his own stack before tossing in a single 5K chip to indicate a call.

Fuller: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Kinder: {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Fuller stood up from his seat as the flop was dealt {j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. The safe flop for the big ace was no doubt a welcome sight to Fuller, but the {5-Clubs} on the turn opened up both straight and flush outs for Kinder. Lightning struck for Kinder on the river when the {2-Clubs} hit the felt, completing Kinder's flush and delivering the Showbound Main Event's top prize.

For his 2nd-place finish, Fuller will take home $26,412 from the prize pool.

Both Kinder and Fuller also receive an invitation to play in the Poker After Dark freeroll, to take place at the Tulsa Hard Rock, the final stop of the Showbound season.

The RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Showbound $575 Main Event hosted by Downstream Casino Resort attracted 372 entrants over three Day 1 flights, a baker's dozen shy of the venue record. The total prize pool for the event came to $186,000, well above its $100,000 guarantee.

On Sunday, Kyle Kinder emerged victorious to capture a $42,781, his first documented tournament cash according to HendonMob. In addition, Kinder and the entire final table were extended invitations into the season-ending freeroll satellite at Hard Rock Tulsa for a pair of $5,000 Sit & Go seats to be on Poker After Dark, recorded in the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas.

Final Table Action

Norm Glueckert was the first to fall after shoving with king-five suited and failing to get there against Nick Petree’s pocket jacks, and Clyde Lorance followed him out the door in ninth losing ace-queen to Matt Blackwell’s pocket queens.

Blackwell then hit the rail himself getting it in with pocket nines and losing a flip to Petree, who flopped an ace holding ace-queen. That proved to be a popular hand as Lance Hendricks used it to send William McCracken, who held king-nine in his final hand, out the door in seventh place for $5,952.

Papa Karn, the father of RGPS founder Tana Karn, took his leave after getting his short stack in with nines against Shane Fuller’s Big Slick, and Li Wu busted when his ten-eight suited fell to Fuller’s nine-seven.

It was at that point Kinder got his first final table knockout when Hendricks jammed with king-nine only to run it smack dab into the eventual champ’s ace-king. Kinder then used Big Slick to eliminated Petree, who had ace-eight, in third place for $17,577 before setting up a final two match against Fuller, which would last just six hands.

The former held a 2:1 chip lead, and it came to a head when Fuller three-bet jammed holding ace-queen and Kinder opted to call with king-four suited. One club on the flop and two more on the turn and river gave Kinder a flush, and Fuller was eliminated in second place for $26,412.

The next RGPS stop will take place March 5-10 at Horseshoe Tunica, and once again the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand to capture all the action.
