Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
George Kalfayan raised to 1,500 on the button and in the small blind, Paul Mendoza three-bet to 4,200 in the small blind which only saw Anthony Bland call in the big blind.
The flop rolled out 9♣4♣4♠ and Mendoza continued for 8,000, earning a look from Bland. Bland contemplated for a little bit longer, but eventually piped up.
"You got kings or something?" Bland asked as he tossed his hand into the muck.
Mendoza obliged with showing him K♣K♥, leaving Bland to tap the table as he mentioned he folded pocket jacks.

The RunGood Poker Series has lifted off and landed out here at Jamul Casino in San Diego for the second stop of the 2025 season. Kicking off the week’s festivities was the seniors event. Players from all around the San Diego area, aged 50 and older came to play and snag the first ring awarded this series.
A total of 108 entrants over the registration period saw the prize pool guarantee passed as $12,960 was gathered among those entrants.
It was nearly four years ago when Armando Mesina burst onto the Rungood poker scene with his main event win for the 2021 Jamul stop, collecting one of his best lifetime scores with $25,175. Now, he has proven himself in another format for his second lifetime ring in the seniors event. He began the series strong, even found himself a bag in the following day’s event, and will be looking to play the main event to become one of the few two-time champions.
