Two flights of the $600 Run Good Poker Series No-Limit Hold’em Main Event at Downstream Casino in Joplin, Missouri were played today which saw 306 entrants in Day 1B and 253 entrants in Day 1C, which saw a massive 559 entrants play on Saturday the 21st.

The final number of players totals out to 794, smashing the guarantee and creating a prize pool worth $412,880.

Scott Brandau dominated the final flight of the day to end with a monster chip stack of 937,000, the only player throughout the whole tournament to bag over 700,000. Brandau began to knock out many players towards the end of the night including bracelet winner Grant Hinkle. He now comes into the largest stack in the biggest poker tournament ever run on the property of Downstream Casino.

Jared Ward raised to 12,000 in early position and from the button, Clay Wells three-bet to 24,000 which folded out all action except Ward who called.

The flop came out {5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} which saw Ward check to Wells who bet 25,000. Ward moved all-in for 110,000 and Wells called.

Jared Ward: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Clay Wells: {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The turn and river came out {4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Ward could not find a nine to improve his hand which gave Wells the pot. The remaining 31 players halted play and will return tomorrow at 11 A.M. with 15:54 left on level 14.

Stay tuned for recap and seat assignments.
