Joseph Wilson limped in from under the gun, Mike Fouts moved all in for 10,000 on the button, and Wilson called.
Mike Fouts: J♥J♣ 
Joseph Wilson: 9♥8♥
Fouts was ahead with his jacks as the flop came 9♠2♦7♥, but Wilson hit two pair on the 8♣ turn to move in front. The river, though, brought the J♦ to give Fouts a set and the double up.
"That's how it's supposed to be," Fouts, who won this event back in 2018, said.

"Stay here, I'm going to go for it," the small blind said as Robert Renaud raised to 2,000 under the gun. Nolan Garrett called on the button, as did the small blind.
All three players checked the 8♥K♣Q♥ flop, and the small blind then moved all in for 7,500 on the J♥ turn. Only Garrett called.
The small blind showed Q♠5♥ for a pair of queens, while Garrett had A♥7♠ for straight and flush draws. The 4♥ fell on the river, and Garrett made his flush to send the small blind to the rail.
"You had a lot of outs, but you're supposed to fade those most of the time," the small blind lamented as he made his exit.

Russ Thomas: A♥2♥
The at-risk player was ahead with his jacks, but the A♦Q♥3♥ flop gave Thomas top pair with the nut flush draw. "That's a good flop for you," his opponent said as the board ran out 10♣5♠ to earn Thomas the knockout.

While the Main Event occupies most of the poker room inside the Horseshoe Council Bluffs, the $400 Black Chip Bounty event is going on in another corner of the room.
The event drew 117 total entries and has reached the final table of nine, among them RunGood ambassador Blair Hinkle. Hinkle already won the PokerNews Powerstack event earlier this festival as he chases the $7,006 top prize and his second RGPS ring this week.
