One of the two multi-flight events of the nine-event series was the $300 Deepstack. On Wednesday, the two flights kicked off and collected a total of 199 entrants into the tournament to create a prizepool of $47,760.
Only 26 players saw any piece of that prize pool and a variety of names familiar to the Rungood circuit battled to get a piece. Players like Andrew Fredericks (21st-$575), Julie Cornelius (17th-$718), Billy Casey (9th-$1,125), and Joseph Mussat (4th-$2,980) all fell short of the title that they all wanted.
It became a heads up match between Matthew Betti and Michael Johns, both very decorated players in their own right. Betti held a slight lead over the Johns for some of the heads up match, but the tournament defining hand came when Johns flopped a set of eights and Betti held a gutshot straight flush draw. Both players got all of their chips in and the set of eights held for Johns to take a massive lead. After that, Johns continued to dominate and Betti ended his run in second place, good for $8,155.
It was just a few weeks ago that Michael Johns had won his second RGPS ring in Tunica, and he continues to make his mark on the RGPS circuit with this newest title. All of his rings have been in Deepstacks and he is putting some distance between himself and others on this years RGPS player of the year. He won 115 points on the NAPT golden player of the series leaderboard but given that he had already won his pass in Tunica, he cannot win a second pass. The NAPT race remains quite competitive and exciting here at Reno.
