Knapp With The Double Up

Liam Gannon

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up in a pot between Anastasia Knapp from under the gun and another player in the small blind, with a sizable pot brewing between the two of them.

With a board reading 4♥10♣9♥5♦, the small blind checked over to Knapp who bet 5,500 and the small blind called.

On the river A♦, the small blind checked over to Knapp who moved all in for 14,100. Her opponent thought for some time and eventually called to put her at risk.

Anastasia Knapp: A♥10♥ All in
Small blind: Q♣Q♦

The river had brought Knapp aces up to give her the pot as she climbed high in the early levels of the tournament.

Event 01 $150 Seniors Ring Event Winner Armando Messina

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.
