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.

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.
