Event #2: Guest Bounty Winner Miguel Bautista

The second event of The RunGood Poker Series Checkpoint at Jamul Casino in San Diego, California was the $200 Guest Bounty, which saw a total of 235 entrants appear. All players were given the opportunity to knock out RunGood Ambassadors to win prizes that included $1,000 in cash. Some of these guests included Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano, Lexy Gavin-Mather, Robert Mather, Johnnie “Vibes” Moreno, and Garry Gates.

After the dust settled it was Miguel Bautista who took home his first RGPS cash in the form of a trophy. Once there were only four players remaining, an ICM deal was struck so that Bautista could take home the lionshare of the cash and the ring.
