Moneymaker Making Flushes

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up in a hand on the flop between four players.

The board read 10♥5♣2♥ and action checked to an early position player who bet 2,100, which Chris Moneymaker called on the button with the small blind calling behind him. In the big blind, another player moved all in for 11,200 which saw only Moneymaker call saying "Ok, I'll gamble with you."

Opponent: Q♥10♦
Chris Moneymaker: 8♥5♥

The turn 2♣ was bad news for Moneymaker as he lost his two pair outs, but the river A♥ connected with the 2003 WSOP Main Event champion as he took down a sizable pot eliminating an opponent.

At another table, Walker Miskelly walked into the tournament after just cashing in the Pot-Limit Omaha event.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

With four players calling, in the big blind Matthew Higgins in the big blind raised to 2,300 which only three of the initial players called.

On the flop of 10♦J♠8♣, action checked over to Higgins who bet 4,000 which only one player on the button called.

The turn peeled off the 10♣ and Higgins moved all in for 13,200 effective and his opponent shrugged before calling off for his entire stack.

Opponent: 9♦8♠
Matthew Higgins: A♠J♣

The river 9♠ did not do enough to improve the button and Higgins took down a sizable pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Donavan Dean raised to 2,000 from the hijack and in the big blind, another player three bet to 6,000 which only Dean called.

The flop came out K♠8♥8♠ and the big blind bet 3,000 which Dean called.

On the 5♣ turn, the big blind checked over to Dean who bet 6,000 which the big blind called.

Once more the big blind checked the J♦ river over to Dean who moved all in for 16,300 effective which had the big blind shaking his head. After some time he tossed his hand into the muck which saw Dean take down the pot.

The Introduction of The Big Blind Protection Rule

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Liam Gannon

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

For the first time, The RunGood Poker Series is implementing the first use of The Big Blind Protection Rule for all of the tournaments occurring at Horseshoe Tunica.

Implemented, the rule states that a player who has come off of a broken table having just paid the big and small blind who would have been on the button will not come into the big blind at their new table.

"The idea was that we didn't want a player having to pay four blinds all in a row, effectively five big blinds," says tournament director Mike Murphy "now when we come up to break a table, the person that just paid both blinds that would have been on the button, will get protection that if they go to the new table and their first hand would have been the big blind where they would have been paying two more blinds, they will sit out until the button passes and then come in."

The rule will be further implemented in the next RunGood Poker Series stop in Baltimore, Maryland next weekend.
