Chicerit Doubles

Erick Torres

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Guerlain Chicerit saw his stack dwindle before he got involved in a hand that put him in a positive direction.

Chicerit opened from under the gun before he faced a re-raise from the next seat over. Chicerit chose to go all-in for approximately 7,100 and was quickly called by his opponent to be at risk for his tournament life.

Guerlain Chicerit: A♣Q♠ All in
Opponent: 9♣9♦

Chicerit found the help he needed to take the lead when the flop came Q♣2♥10♥.

There were no more surprises on the 4♠ turn and the K♠ river to award the double to Chicerit.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

It was a wild ride last weekend at the final table of the RunGood Poker Series Passport Season San Diego $600 Main Event, and Stefan Isensee is happy he had the day off from work to make it memorable.

The local bartender was playing his first ever RGPS series at Jamul Casino Resort, and improbably came out on top from a field of 368 entries to earn his first ever live tournament win.

"It's insane, man," Isensee told PokerNews moments after clinching the title. "It's insane."

The final 45 players returned in the money for Day 2, looking to grab the largest share of the $191,360 prize pool. Isensee navigated his way through the day, entering the final table as the shortest stack before ultimately reaching a three-handed deal with William Wolf and Saba Golshan to adjust the payouts and battle for the RGPS ring.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Stephen Fraser opened to 500 from the button and was called out of the big blind by Moses Vazquez.

Both players checked through the 8♥2♣3♠ flop to bring the Q♦ turn.

Vazquez fired 300 and was quickly called by Fraser.

The action slowed down again on the river as both players checked the 8♣ turn.

Fraser showed A♥K♦ for ace-high, which was enough to take it down as Vazquez revealed J♦6♦ for jack high.

The RunGood Poker Series Passport Reno $800 Main Event has attracted 78 entries thus far as the page turns to Day 1cd of the main event at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa.

Hamid Izadi led Day 1a (716,000) as the final two levels of his run vaulted him to the chip leader.

Adam Saven (346,000) topped the field of Day 1b. A total of three entries out of the 25 entries qualified for Day 2 from the second flight. Druce Gammon (212,000) and Bill Simpson (192,000) were the other two players who bagged for Day 2.

Day 1b Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chip Count	Big Blinds
1	Adam Saven	United States	346,000	58
2	Druce Gammon	United States	212,000	35
3	Bill Simpson	United States	192,000	32

Players will begin their journey in the 2026 RGPS Passport Reno Main Event with a starting stack of 30,000. Levels are dialed for 30 minutes through the first flight of play.

The levels will then be raised to 40 minutes at the onset of Day 2. Players are entitled to unlimited reentries, and participants can play in all four Day 1 flights. Should a player qualify for Day 2 more than once, they will take the higher chip stack into Day 2, and any lower stacks will be removed from play, and the player will receive the lowest Day 2 payout.

The top 12.5% of each flight, rounded down, will advance to Day 2, where play will resume at the lowest level of play during the Day 1 flights.
