Robert Young
Robert Young

There was over 10,000 in the middle in a blind-on-blind battle with the board reading {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Robert Young checked in the small blind and his opponent overbet-jammed for 14,400. Young thought for a bit and then found a call.

All-In Player: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Young: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Young had made the right call, seeing his jacks ahead of his opponent's eights. No eight came on the river and he sent the player to the rail, earning his chips and taking his stack above 60K in the process.

A sizeable 337 entries turned up to Horseshoe Tunica on Tuesday evening for Event #2 of the 2022 RGPS Contenders Tour, and as expected, the action did not disappoint.

Kyle Cartwright, who sits within the top 10 of Horseshoe Tunica's all-time money earnings list, was one of the first ones out in 31st ($189) after the bubble burst shortly beforehand when 33 players remained. The top seven all locked up prizes of more than $1,000, bounties not included, and the final four players ultimately decided on a chop, with Joanne Cain officially claiming first place and earning herself the trophy. Also involved in the chop were William Stanford, Alec Wilson, and Sanh Vuong

Small Check-Raise Does It for Graves

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves

The dealer was in the process of scooping up 1,800 from three players in the player on the button, Aaron Graves in the small blind, and Kerry Hildebrand in the big blind.

All three players checked to the river as the board completed {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Graves checked once more. Hildebrand bet 2,000 and the player on the button tossed out a T-5,000 chip, signifying a call. Action as then back on Graves, and he also tossed in a T-5,000 chip, but announced a raise to 5K as he did so.

Hildebrand and the player on the button each took a handful of seconds before folding, and Graves took down the pot with his river check-raise.

Reynolds Doubles with the Nuts

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Kyle Reynolds
Kyle Reynolds

Kyle Reynolds opened to 1,800 in early position and was called by the hijack as well as ClubGG Qualifier John "CaptJohnHook" Terrano in the big blind.

The flop came {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Terrano checked to Reynolds, who continuation-bet 3,200. The hijack called and then Terrano announced a check-raise to the minimum value of 6,400. Reynolds called and the hijack thought for a few moments before folding.

Heads-up action continued to the turn {a-Hearts} and Terrano continued for 12,000. Reynolds announced he was all in and Terrano called.

Reynolds: {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Terrano: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The turn had given Terrano top two pair but also improved Reynolds to Broadway, which remained the nuts as the river {6-Clubs} completed the runout and scored him the double.

"Nice hand, bro," said Terrano as Reynolds's stack of 25,800 was counted. Terrano sent the requisite amount across the table, and Reynodls now finds himself with over three starting stacks nearing the halfway point in Day 1b.

Marsh Mashes the Board

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Chad Marsh
Chad Marsh

The board read {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-Spades} with heads-up action between Chad Marsh in the hijack and an opponent in the small blind. A small pile of chips was already in the middle and Marsh bet 3,500 after his opponent checked to him. The small blind called and the river came {8-Hearts}, prompting him to lead out with an all-in bet of around 6,000 more. Marsh immediately called.

Small Blind: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Marsh: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

The small blind jammed on the river after completing his straight, but Marsh had turned a flush in addition to making an unnecessary higher straight by the river, too. The pot was shipped Marsh's way, and he now has over 40K. Marsh is looking to make his second run of the series, having also taken down event #5: $200 Double Green Chip Bounty for $3,295 plus bounties.
