On a heads-up flop of 10♥10♦4♠, Jaime Haletky led out for 8,000 and was called by Philip Gavrilov to see the turn 4♣.
Haletkuy then tossed out a bet of 25,000, covering Gavrilov, who shrugged and quickly made the call to post himself at risk.
Philip Gavrilov: J♠10♠
Jaime Haletky: A♠Q♥
"Wow, you have such a wide range, but every time I'm against you, you make a full house!" Haletky was not pleased to find out he was drawing dead as the board completed with the 9♦ to award Gavrilov the pot.

The under-the-gun player opened to 3,000 but then Gregory Pincombe three-bet to 16,000 and action folded around to Fudong Li on the button. He then decided to four-bet jam for around 150,000 and the under-the-gun player quickly folded while Pincombe made the call to put himself at risk.
Gregory Pincombe: Q♠Q♣
Fudong Li: A♣K♥
Pincombe was ahead going into this flippo de classico, and the runout of 5♥10♥6♣4♠10♦ kept it that was as he was awarded the pot for a big double-up.

On a flop of 7♣4♦6♠, Jamie Kerstetter, Matthew Wantman, and Bin Duan got all of the chips in the middle, with Duan covering.
Jamie Kerstetter: 9♦7♠
Matthew Wantman: 5♠5♣
Bin Duan: 4♣4♥
Duan was well in the lead with his flopped set of fours, but still had to dodge Wantman's open-ender and Kerstetter's possible backdoors.
The board completed with the Q♦A♥ for Duan's set to hold to scoop the pot while Kerstetter and Wantman were eliminated.

The RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) is currently at Thunder Valley in Northern California to wrap up its Checkpoint season. While there, the three-time GPI Award winner for “Best Mid-Major Poker Tour” announced a new theme, new dates, and new rings for the second half of 2023.
"We're prepping for a massively fun upcoming season as we continue to qualify players to the Dream Seat Invitational," said Tana Karn, President at RunGood. "Our team is ready to deliver a best mid-major experience to close out the year!"
The 2023 RunGood Dream Seat™ Invitational is an invite-only event at Thunder Valley Casino Resort on November 29th. 2023 RunGood Poker Series ring winners will be eligible to buy in to the $300 No Limit Hold'em event where PokerGO will be awarding an added entry to the PGT Championship $1,000,000 Freeroll to first place.
The PGT Championship $1,000,000 Freeroll will be open to the top 40 players on the PGT leaderboard, along with a select group of "Dream Seat" winners to be awarded in special events throughout the year. Last year, only the top 21 ranked players were eligible to compete.
On top of returning to many beloved stops for the remainder of 2023 in the new “Road Trip” season, the tour will expand to new stops in Baltimore, Maryland and St. Louis, Missouri.
Each tour stop will host signature RunGood events and giveaway items celebrating the season's theme. With buy-ins designed to suit all budgets, the RGPS offers an inclusive environment to experience the world of tournament poker.
Michael Abratique made it 15,000 to go from the small blind and was called by Joshua Prager to see a flop of 9♥5♣K♥.
Prager continued for 12,000 and Abratique quickly called to see the 3♣ appear on the turn. Prager fired again for a large sizing of 25,000 and Abratique paused for a few seconds before he tossed in the call.
The river came the J♥ and Prager decided to slow down and check to Abratique, who then moved all in to cover. Prager shook his head and promptly folded, at which point Abratique showed the table Q♥10♥ for an impressive straight flush on the river.
