We happened upon the action on a flop after Don Hitt got his last approximately 40,000 all in against Patrick Dorothy.

Patrick Dorothy:
Don Hitt:

Dorothy had flopped quad fours but Hitt was drawing live to an up-and-down straight flush draw. He was looking for either the deuce or six of diamonds, but it wasn't meant to be as the bricked on the turn followed by the on the river.

Chad Holloway

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Last weekend, the RunGood Poker Series was on the high seas! They partnered with CardPlayer Cruises to host a series of events on a seven-day cruise in the Caribbean. There was a ton of poker action, and we thought it’d be fun to highlight some of the events right here in the blog.

In Event #1: $170 Pro Bounty NLH, 115 runners created an $8,750 prize pool that was paid out to the top seven players. Poker Hall of Famer Linda Johnson was one of the bounties and made it all the way to fourth place, though she was ineligible for the prize. That meant an extra spot got paid.

In the end, Jack Matsuura came out on top to win a $3,062 first-place prize.

Event #1 Final Table Results

1	Jack Matsuura	$3,062
2	Pat Jones	$1,893
