Santiago Bernal and Thanh Le both limped from early position before Timothy Taylor raised to 1,000 from the hijack. Both Bernal and Le called.
The J♠10♦7♥ flop was checked by Bernal before Lee put out a bet of 300. Taylor wanted to play for more and raised to 1,500 in response. Bernal and Le both called.
All three players checked the 6♦ turn, bringing the 9♥ river. Bernal opted to bet 10,200 on the river. Le quickly folded, but Taylor took a moment to think over the spot. Taylor opted to fold as Bernal won the pot without a showdown on the river.
Bernal showed K♣Q♥ for a rivered straight as he collected the chips.
Patricia Davis limped from the cutoff before Santiago Bernal made it 1,200 to go from the small blind. Thanh Le called out of the big blind, and Davis also called, creating a three-handed pot.
The 8♦5♥Q♦ flop was checked by Bernal. Le took the initiative with a bet of 1,200. Both Davis and Bernal called.
Bernal checked the 2♣ turn. Le followed with a bet of 2,400. Davis called, while Bernal bowed out with a fold.
The 7♠ river led to another bet from Le. This time, Le bet 4,800. Davis did not waste much time making the call as they went to showdown.
Le showed 7♣6♥ for a pair of sevens. It was no good against the Q♥9♦ of Davis, who claimed the pot with her pair of queens.
Brian Buchhorn got the action going with a limp from early position. William McDowell followed with a limp from the cutoff. Santiago Bernal made it 1,100 on the button. Thanh Le joined with a call from the small blind. Buchhorn and McDowell also called.
It checked to Bernal on the 10♦9♠A♦ flop, who continued for 3,000. Everyone but McDowell folded to trim the field down to two players.
The Q♥ turn was checked by both players, bringing the 10♣ river. McDowell put out a bet of 6,000. Bernal paused to give it consideration before he put in the call.
McDowell showed 10♥8♥ for trip tens. It was best as Bernal tabled A♠4♣ for aces up.
Thanh Le was the first to act and limped to start the hand. Timothy Taylor made it 1,200 from the next seat over and was only called by Le.
Le checked the flop of 10♣5♥A♠ before Taylor continued for 1,600. Le put in the call.
The K♣ hit the turn before Le took the betting initiative with a wager of 2,000. This was the end of the road for Taylor, who opted to fold and award the pot to Le.
A wild hand broke out during the first level on Day 1c of the RunGood Poker Series Lodge Card Club $600 Main Event.
The hand started off innocently enough with a limp by Thanh Le from the cutoff. Santiago Bernal opted to make it 800 on the button. Timothy Taylor chose to three-bet to 2,500 from the small blind, but the chips had hardly hit the felt before Patricia Davis four-bet to 5,700 from the big blind.
Le pounced with an all-in for 32,500. Taylor shipped it for more, and Davis also went all-in for approximately 30,000, creating a three-handed all-in pot with Le and Davis at risk.
Davis had the best of it as she was at the top of the rankings of the cooler. Davis would not enjoy that lead long when the flop came 8♣8♠Q♦, improving Taylor to the best hand with a full house.
Davis and Le were left searching for an ace or king, respectively. The 9♦ turn was of no consequence.
Taylor would improve to four of a kind on the Q♣ river as he scored the early double knockout.
Davis and Le have both rebought and have started anew with a fresh stack.
The RunGood Poker Series Golden Expedition Lodge Card Club San Antonio $600 Main Event continues with Day 1c, as players take their shot at securing a place in the Day 2 field and continue the chase for a piece of the $200,000 guarantee.
Day 1b wrapped up last night with Jose Chavez (743,000) leading all comers on Day 1b. Julio Zayas (256,000) and David Leach (246,000) follow in second and third, respectively, rounding out the top three players from the second flight of the main event.
Chavez is the one to chase, as his stack is the biggest thus far after two starting flights. Chavez has positioned himself well to secure the first RunGood ring of his career at the Lodge Card Club in San Antonio after his chip-leading finish on Day 1b.
Julio Zayas
Zayas already has one cash during this stop, when he took third place in the $300 Summit Stack for $6,000. Zayas will look to keep that momentum going when he returns to the felt for Day 2 of the main event on Sunday. Zayas is batting 1.000 as he has cashed in the first two RunGood events that he has entered. It is only a question of how big a cash awaits him during the final day of play.
Leach is no stranger to the tournament scene with over $45,000 in live career earnings, per his The Hendon Mob profile. This is Leach's first RunGood cash of his career.
Day 1c is scheduled to begin on Nov. 13, at 11 a.m. local time, with Day 1d starting at 5 p.m. All times are local.
