Big Blind Special for Thomas

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante
Ron Thomas
Ron Thomas

Three players went to a flop of {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} with 3,800 in the middle from preflop action. Ron Thomas checked in the big blind, as did a player in early position, and the cutoff bet 3,000. Thomas called the early-positon player folded.

Heads-up action checked through {q-Clubs} and the board completed {3-Spades}. Thomas checked once more and his opponent bet 3,000, leaving 5,100 behind. Thomas tossed in two 5K-chips for a check-raise to put his opponent all in, and the player begrudgingly folded.

Thomas showed {8-Clubs}{6-Spades} for the flopped full house, sixes full of eights.

"That's all you got?!" joked the cutoff as the pot was shipped to Thomas.

Kerry Hildebrand Back In Action After RGPS All Stars Pro-Am Showing

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Back in July 2020, Kerry Hildebrand won the RGPS All Stars Online Freeroll on Faded Spade Poker Club, where the top prize was a seat into the RGPS All Stars Pro-Am Event, which would ultimately not be held until December 2021.

At that tournament Hildebrand was ultimately eliminated in a three-way all in against RunGood Ambassador "Boston" Rob Mariano and eventual runner up Danielle Andersen. However, she is now back in action here at RGPS Contenders Council Bluffs, where she finished in eighth place during last fall's $420 Main Event at this very same venue.

We'll be sure to keep an eye on Hildebrand as she makes her way through evening. The tournament clock still displays 150 entries, though more have been recorded due to the alternate list of players still waiting to take their seats.

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Mo Nuwwarah
Mo Nuwwarah

Mo Nuwwarah was recently seated after being one of the first few alternates to get their crack at the action. raised in middle position and received two calls in position before both players in the blinds came along as well.

All five players checked {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and the turn came {k-Hearts}. The small blind bet 800, the big blind folded, and Nuwwarah called. The two players behind then folded.

Action went heads up to the river {j-Spades} and the small blind checked. Nuwwarah bet 1,400 and his opponent found a call.

Nuwwarah tabled {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for top pair, and it proved to be good as his opponent sent his cards to the muck.

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Johnnie Moreno
Johnnie Moreno

Preflop action saw 2,700 go into the middle with four players holding cards in front of them. The flop came {3-Spades}{2-Spades}{q-Clubs} and action checked to Johnnie Moreno in middle position, who bet 1,000. The hijack called one seat over, and the two remaining players in the hand quickly folded.

The turn came {3-Diamonds} and Moreno reached for chips once more, grabbing 3,200 and firing it forward onto the felt. The hijack thought for about 15 seconds and then folded, earning Moreno the pot with his turn bet.

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Lexy Nuzum
Lexy Nuzum

A player limped in early position and the hijack raised to 500. Lexy Nuzum called in the cutoff and the early-position player came along as well, taking action three ways to the streets.

The flop dropped {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts} and the early-position player checked. The hijack continuation-bet 500 and Nuzum raised to 1,200. The early-position player check-three-bet to 3,700 and the hijack quickly folded. Nuzum then four-bet jammed for 13,200, sending her opponent into the tank for close to three minutes.

"I think you have two pair, honestly," said the early-position player. "I'm gonna fold," the player added, sending {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} to the dealer face up. Nuzum slid her cards forward on the felt face down, and the pot was sent her way.
