For the first time this year, The RunGood Poker Series has returned to JACK Casino in Cleveland, Ohio. The series included eight ring events including a $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship that will begin on Sunday, and the $1,000 RGPS Main Event with $400,000 prize pool guarantee, beginning today at 3:15 p.m. local time.
Last year when the tour came to this casino, the $1,000 Main Event saw a total of 590 entrants come out to play, creating a prize pool of $508,580. After the dust settled on Day 2, it was Louis Ganser who hoisted the RGPS Ring and took home a not-so-little amount of $102,225 for his first RGPS title.

On a three-way flop of 2♠3♥4♠, the action checked to Edward Mogilnicki who bet 1,500 and was called by Mark Bowersock on the button and Paul Meisner in the big blind.
On the turn 7♥, Mogilnicki continued for 6,500 but this time was only called by Bowersock to see the 5♠ fall on the river.
This time Mogilnicki decided to slow down and check, and Bowersock checked back.
"Two pair," Bowersock announced as he showed 5♣2♥, which prompted a muck from Mogilnicki.

On a multi-way flop of 9♥2♣10♥, the action checked to Anthony Fields who bet 10,000.
Rabih Makdessi then check-raised all in for around 35,000 and the other player got out of the way before Fields quickly slid in his stack to cover.
Makdessi confidently tabled over 9♠9♣ for a set of nines, but his confidence quickly turned sour when Fields rolled over 10♣10♦ for a superior set of tens.
"Wowwww! Are you serious!" Makdessi sat stunned as the dealer burned and turned the runout of 8♠J♦ to award the pot to Fields and eliminated Makdessi.
