Anthony Ezman open-jammed for around 90,000 under the gun after the new level began, and he saw Richard Bolden re-jam for 275,000. One player behind went into the tank for a bit, but there were ultimately no other takers.

"Racin'!" said Bolden, tabling .

The runout came , with the nine coming in the window to leave Ezman thin. His chances at a backdoor straight were crushed on the turn, and he was eliminated as a result.

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Event #3: $185 RunGood DeepStack took center stage inside Horseshoe Tunica on Wednesday, drawing a massive 452 entries over the two flights the day offered. After those two flights finished, 62 players remained and advanced to Thursday's Day 2.

Sixteen of those players fell short of cashing, as the top 46 players made it into the money. RunGood Ambassadors Daniel Lowery (32nd - $334) and Julie Cornelius (29th - $378) were among those who accomplished that feat, only to fall short of the final table, and were also joined by Papa Karn (21st - $591), who cashed for his second time in the first three tournaments of the series.

However, it ultimately came down to heads-up play between Kenneth Nicoletti and Saeed Nia, and the two chopped up the remaining prize money to take home $12,238 apiece with Nicoletti claiming the first-place title and accompanying hardware.

Place	Player	Prize
1	Kenneth Nicoletti	$12,238*
2	Saeed Nia	$12,238*

7	Cameron Bellamy	$2,065
8	William Stanford	$1,620
9	Dylan Lemery	$1,289
