Last week, the RunGood Poker Series made another stop at Atlantis Casino in Reno, Nevada. The $600 Main Event saw its biggest ever prize pool of $188,700, generated by 370 entrants over the course of four starting flights. Just 44 came into the final day with a chance to take down that title, but after eight hours of play, only one player remained.
Readers who have followed the poker circuit for years will be very familiar with the name Ian Steinman. A WSOP bracelet winner out of California with 14 years of live poker experience that includes massive final tables and tournament wins aplenty. Now he can add a RGPS Main Event title to his resume as he walked away with his second RGPS ring and $36,220 to boot.
“I’m pretty calm no matter what,” Steinman said when asked about the massive chip lead he maintained throughout the final table. “I’m ok even if I make a mistake. It’s a little bit more pressure with the chip lead because even then your odds of winning are still low. Even with that, I was still zoned in.”
Three-handed play ended rather quickly as Steinman, Art Tanimoto, and Yang Zhou all discussed and agreed to a deal that would see Steinman take the lion’s share and the ring while Tanimoto and Zhou finished in third and second for the same amount.

Action was picked up on the flop with roughly 30,000 in the pot and the board showing 6♣10♣J♠.
Eric Bryant led out for a bet of 16,000 before Glen 'The Cannon' Gruner raised all in for his stack of 83,000, which Bryant called to put Gruner at risk.
Glen Gruner: 10♠10♥
Eric Bryant: A♣8♣
It was an action flop where Gruner flopped middle set but would need to fade the flush draw of Bryant. The board ran out K♦ on the turn and 5♦ on the river, which was safe for Gruner, giving him a double up.
