: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Devon Rinehart opened the action with a raise to 600 from the hijack. Joseph Walker made the call from the cutoff, and Philip Carselowey came along with a call from the big blind.
It was checked to Rinehart on the 6♥9♥6♠ flop, who bet 1,400. Walker called, and Carselowey folded.
Both players checked the 10♦ turn to bring the 4♣ river.
Rinehart bet 2,000 and was called by Walker.
Rinehart showed 7♦7♠, but it was Walker with the winner as he tabled A♦10♠ to claim the pot.
Rinehart was left with just over 4,000 in chips following the loss. It was a few hands later that Rinehart would bust and was seen leaving the tournament area.

Joseph "Joey" McCaig has been a long-time competitor at the RunGood Poker Series. His earliest cash dates back to 2015 here at Joplin, where he finished third to earn just over $10,000.
Despite his success on the tour, McCaig has yet to capture an RGPS title and will have the opportunity to change that this weekend.
McCaig will have some work to do as he currently sits with a stack of 19,600.

: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
This hand was picked up on the flop of K♥3♣4♥. A series of raises led to an all-in clash between Tony Courtney and his opponent, with his opponent at risk for 21,000.
Opponent: A♣K♦
Tony Courtney: K♠3♠
Courtney had his opponent in a tough spot as he flopped two pair, while his opponent held top pair.
The 9♦ turn offered additional outs to his opponent, but the 8♣ river ended the affair as Courtney took down the pot to tally an early knockout.
Courtney was seen losing a significant pot later to drop in chip count despite the early boon from the knockout.
