Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The Rungood Poker Series at Horseshoe Tunica kicked off the week with the $250 Seniors tournament on the morning of Tuesday, September 3rd. A total of 200 entrants occupied the poker room, creating a prizepool of $40,000 to be divided up between the final 25 players.

As the dust settled Steven Spencer took home his first RGPS ring in the seniors event. Spencer is no stranger to tournament success here in Tunica as five of his seven recorded cashes have come from this casino, though this is his first RGPS cash.

Spencer found himself in very tumultuous waters at the final table with multiple clashes with second place finisher Daniel Dohner. It left him as the shortest stack three-handed but with timing, patience, and luck he managed to spin it back to the chip lead heads up and took down his second biggest lifetime score for $9,317.

Event #1: $250 Seniors Final Table

Place	Player	Prize
1	Steven Spencer	$9,317
2	Daniel Dohner	$6,212
3	Emil White	$4,508
4	Donald McArthur	$3,325
5	Richard Travis	$2,493

"Can I See?"

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

A player raised to 500 in the hijack and both Sanh Vuong in the small blind and Michael Hamilton in the big blind called.

The flop rolled out Q♦7♣3♥ and everyone checked to the turn 8♦ where Vuong bet 700 and only Hamilton called.

On the river 5♣, Vuong checked over to Hamilton who bet 2,200 and Vuong went into the tank.

"Can I see?" asked Vuong as he pondered his decision. After some more time he folded, ceding Hamilton the pot.

Vuong said he folded an eight after the hand, while Hamilton responded saying he rivered a five.
