Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Brandon Feria started the bidding with an open to 700 from early position. Jason Rodriguez-Berriz called on the button. Nathan Chen and Paul Spano called from the small and big blind, respectively, to create a four-handed pot.
It was all checks on the 4♠5♣J♠ flop, which brought the 10♠ turn.
Chen poked at the pot with a wager of 1,200. This was enough, as Spano, Feria, and Rodriguez-Berriz all mucked their hands in response to award the pot to Chen uncontested.
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Yousef Salameh got the action started with an open to 600 from early position. Anthony Costa made the call from the cutoff, and Christopher Rudd joined with a call on the button. Bryce Carrol-Coe raised the price of admission when he three-bet to 2,000 from the big blind. Salameh, Costa, and Rudd all made the call to keep the pot four-handed as they took a flop.
All four players checked through the 9♦3♦5♣ flop to welcome the 5♥ turn.
Carrol-Coe was done checking as he opted to fire 7,300 on the turn. This bet cleared everyone out as Carrol-Coe dragged in the chips.

: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Bryce Carrol-Coe got the action started with an open to 500 from early position. Yousef Salameh made the call from the next seat over. Christopher Rudd followed with a call out of the small blind. Jose Esparza was interested in putting more chips in the pot as he opted to three-bet to 1,800 from the big blind.
Carrol-Coe got out of there with a fold, but Salameh and Rudd chose to take a flop with a pair of calls.
The A♠5♣2♠ flop resulted in a check from Rudd. Esparza continued for 2,200 in response.
Salameh wasted little time making the fold. Rudd gave it some consideration, but thought better of it as he also mucked to award the pot to Esparza.
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
This hand was picked up with approximately 5,000 in the middle of a board that read 4♥3♥J♣7♣.
Jason Rodriguez-Berriz chose to put out a bet of 1,900 from the hijack, but he met resistance when Brandon Feria chose to re-raise to 7,100 in response. Rodriguez-Berriz came along with a call to see the river.
The J♠ led to a check from Rodriguez-Berriz. Feria followed with a bet of 10,500. Rodriguez-Berriz was in the tank after the bet from Feria, but decided on a fold as he froze with his hand extended out before flicking his cards in the middle to muck.

Three starting flights are in the books as Day 1d marks the second half of the six starting flights scheduled by the RunGood Poker Series Passport Season Finale $600 The Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship held at Thunder Valley Casino Resort.
Day 1c wrapped up last night, attracting a total of 119 entries. This meant that 12 players were permitted to advance to Day 2 from the third opening flight.
Yang Lu (694,000) led all players from the flight after the dust settled on Day 1c. Jane Bahk (519,000) and David Larson (474,000) round out the top three players of the 12 advancing from the third flight of play.
Lu is an experienced live tournament player who has nearly $800,000 in live career earnings according to The Hendon Mob. Lu has the opportunity to add a RunGood title to his resume with a win.
Bahk has won an RGPS ring at Thunder Valley Casino Resort, and now has the opportunity to pursue a second ring after bagging the second biggest stack from Day 1c. A championship run in this tournament would represent Bahk’s best single live cash.
Larson has plenty of tournament poker experience with a resume that boasts over $500,000 in earnings according to his The Hendon Mob profile, but he has yet to add RGPS hardware to his cabinet. Larson made a deep run at this very casino when he finished 14th at the $600 RGPS Contenders Thunder Valley Main Event in 2022. Larson has an opportunity to go all the way this time.
The action on Day 1d will begin at 11 a.m. local time. Players begin with a 30,000 starting stack. Players are entitled to one reentry per flight, and registration is scheduled to close at the start of Level 9. Should players qualify for Day 2 more than once, then they will take their largest stack forward and forfeit their other stack(s) and will receive the lowest Day 2 prize amount instead.
