The hand began with a raise to 600 from the cutoff before Moises Banuelos called out of the small blind.
Banuelos checked the 6♥Q♦J♠ flop before his opponent fired 600. Banuelos called and sent them to the 7♠ turn.
Banuelos checked again on the turn, which led to a bet of 600 from his opponent. Banuelos stuck around with a call.
The 10♥ river prompted a bet of 1,000 from Banuelos. He faced resistance as his opponent chose to raise to 2,500. Banuelos gave it some consideration before he made the call.
His opponent showed A♣9♣ for ace high, it was no good as Banuelos tabled Q♣8♣ for top pair to scoop the pot.

Playing under the backdrop of the Sierra Nevada, the RunGood Poker Series Passport Season is slated to return to the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno, Nevada, to host the $800 Main Event. The titular event will feature a $150,000 guarantee. Players will have four opportunities to make a run at an RGPS ring beginning at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. each day on Feb. 27 and 28 before players convene for Day 2 on March 1 at 12 p.m.
Toan Nguyen outlasted a field of 405 entrants to take down the RGPS title during its last stop in Reno last August. A prize pool of $283,500 was created, as Nguyen took home $45,000 after a six-way chop was struck at the final table to award him the crown and the ring.
