Action was on the player on the button, who after having 1,000 already committed now had a decision to make with two players all in before the flop. Those two players were Mack Khan, who was all in for 14,300 from the big blind and Mykel Comroe, who had gone all in over the top for 20,000. The player on the button folded and Khan and Comroe turned up their hands.
Mack Khan: ![]()
![]()
Mykel Comroe: ![]()
![]()
The two were in a classic coin flip situation as the dealer brought a flop of ![]()
![]()
. The turn
fell in Comroe's favor, leaving Khan sitting and nodding while accepting his likely fate. Much to his favor, however, the river came
to give him a higher full house, earning him the double and keeping him alive in the tournament.

Burford also recently took third place in the RunGood Poker Series Main Event here in Bossier City a year ago in October, 2018, earning a payday of $18,768 for his efforts. He currently sits with below a starting stack's worth of chips, but has plenty of room to work with as he looks to improve on his performance from a year ago here on the riverboat.

Players are on their first 15-minute break of Flight C. The tournament clock is displaying 123 entries at the start of the break - late registration will remain open for roughly another two-and-a-half hours with this being the final of three initial flights.
Tiffany Keathley just found herself the recipient of a triple up and was more than happy to share the details on how everything went down. According to Keathley, a player had put 3,500 into the middle preflop before she went all in for about 11,5000. Another player went all in behind her and the first player also called.
Tiffany Keathley: ![]()

Opponent 1: ![]()

Opponent 2: ![]()

The board ran out clean for Keathley, with the flop and turn bringing four blanks. The river
put an exclamation mark on the hand, earning the RGPS Tunica Main Event Champion from August 2019 a triple up and giving her new life nearing the first break of Flight C. She is hopeful to carry the momentum into the last four hours of the evening after finding no such luck through her attempts to advance from the first two flights of the event.

There was a pile of chips in the middle with three-way action on a flop of ![]()
![]()
with action back on an under-the-gun player. Terry Karn, son of RunGood Founder Tana Karn had shoved all in for 11,200 from early position and another player in middle position had gone over the top for a total of 20,200. The under-the-gun player thought for a bit and eventually folded.
Terry Karn: ![]()
![]()
Middle Position: ![]()
![]()
"Papa Karn" had flopped top two pair, only to end up against his opponent's flopped straight with an open-ended straight flush draw to go along with it. Karn was in significant need of improving and found luck on the turn
, giving him a full house. Nonetheless, he still had two outs to fade to a straight flush. The monster draw would be quelled as the river fell
, leaving Karn's full house best to secure him the double, finding new life in the process.
