Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Josh Swails had his short stack in the middle, at risk against Chi Do in the big blind.

Josh Swails: A7 All in
Chi Do: AA

Swails was drawing thin before the K64 flop delivered a flush. The 6 turn brought Do some outs, but the 2 river confirmed the early double for Swails.

Gerard Bets Out Ku

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Taerim Ku checked the 6A9 flop from the big blind, and Dan Gerard bet 7,000 in middle position. The call was made, and Ku checked again on the 2 turn.

Gerard took a moment before firing 24,000 into the middle. That produced a fold from Ku, and Gerard collected the chips.

Wolfgang Shoves on Gerard

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Lewis Wolfgang opened to 9,000 in early position, and Dan Gerard slid out a three-bet to 27,000 in the cutoff.

The rest of the table folded back to Wolfgang, who announced all in. After verifying that Wolfgang had him covered, Gerard opted to let his hand go.

Final 16 Set to Battle for RGPS Passport Pennsylvania Main Event Title

Vernon Yoder
Vernon Yoder

After a busy week at the RunGood Poker Series Passport Pennsylvania series, the last 16 players return to Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course with a chance to take home the coveted RGPS ring today.

The $800 Main Event attracted a total of 144 entries across four opening flights, creating a $100,800 prize pool that smashed the advertised guarantee. The largest pieces of that purse will be up for grabs when play resumes at 12:00 p.m. local time.

Leading the field heading into the final day is Kazi Hossain, who took the overall lead with a stellar performance in the final flight to finish with 633,000 chips. That edged out Vernon Yoder, who dominated the first flight of the weekend to collect 605,000 chips. Both chip leaders will return with almost four times the average stack, and will be at the same table to begin the day.

Other top stacks returning to their seats are Day 1b leader Taerim Ku with 427,000, and James Cloutier holding 386,000 chips after topping the Day 1c field.

The final field includes RGPS Ambassador Daniel Hughes, who survived the last flight to bag up 177,000 chips for a total of 44 big blinds. The short stack entering play is Josh Swails (56,000), who carried 14 big blinds in Day 2.

The final day will begin at noon local time, where 40-minute levels will continue to be contested until a winner is determined. Players will have 15-minute breaks after every two hours of play, with a redraw to occur once the final table has been reached.

Blinds will be rolled back to 2,000/4,000, as Day 1b concluded play with 35:00 remaining in Level 12. All of the remaining players have locked up at least $1,956, while tonight's winner will earn $26,278 and the coveted Passport Season ring.
