Heather Alcorn raised to 700 under the gun, the player in the cutoff called, and the player in the small blind three-bet to 2,600. Coulter Conner then cold four-bet to 7,600 in the big blind and only the small blind continued.
The flop came Q♦8♠3♦ and the small blind check-called a bet of 4,200 from Conner, bringing the 5♥ turn.
The small blind checked again and Conner moved all in for just over 18,000. With 16,500 back, the small blind thought for a brief moment before flicking in the call.
Small blind: Q♠10♠
Coulter Conner: A♦A♣
The J♠ river was safe for Conner and the pot was pushed his way as his opponent was sent to the rail.

Usually, when travel plans fall through, it’s bad news. But for Nicholas Burris last October, the cancellation turned into a blessing worth $65,435.
The RunGood Poker Series Grand Prix Tulsa $800 Main Event champion decided to head to the Hard Rock Hotel And Casino Tulsa after a friend reminded him of the tournament. It proved a wise call, as Burris topped a field of 469 entries to claim the title and a share of the $328,300 prize pool.

Cards are in the air in Day 1b of the RGPS Passport Season Tulsa $800 Main Event.
Level: 1
Blinds: 100/200
Ante: 200
The RunGood Poker Series Passport Season continues at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa, with Day 1b of the $800 Main Event taking place today at 11:00 a.m. local time and Day 1c starting at 6:00 p.m. The tournament features three Day 1 starting flights taking place over two days and players who advance from each flight will combine and return for Day 2 on Sunday, January 25.
Just a few months ago, the 2025 Grand Prix Series edition of the event attracted 469 runners, and through the first starting flight, 74 entries have been tallied this time around. Only 9 of those competitors will be advancing to Day 2, all of whom have already made the money.
Randy Cramer emerged as the Day 1a chip leader, bagging a whopping 630,000. At the bottom of the counts sits Jesse Jones, who took down the 2024 RunGood Resort St. Louis Main Event for $73,448. Should he find a way to spin up his stack on Sunday, he will be a player to look out for.
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Randy Cramer | United States | 630,000 |
| 2 | Jason Gambill | United States | 420,000 |
| 3 | Brian Winter | United States | 267,000 |
| 4 | Josh Wyatt | United States | 264,000 |
| 5 | Tracey Rudd | United States | 225,000 |
| 6 | Cory Aurentz | United States | 156,000 |
| 7 | Alonte Smith | United States | 153,000 |
| 8 | Lauren Bunch | United States | 62,000 |
| 9 | Jesse Jones | United States | 47,000 |
Players will begin each starting flight with 30,000 in chips and blinds will begin at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Blinds will be 30 minutes in length during the open registration period (Levels 1-8) and will increase to 40 minutes after late registration closes (Level 9 and beyond). At the completion of Level 8, players may forfeit their stack and reenter for $800.
Should a player choose to play multiple Day 1 flights, only the highest qualifying stack will be permitted to continue to Day 2. Any lower stack(s) will be removed from play at the start of Day 2 and receive a min-cash.
Play for Day 1 flights will conclude once 12.5% of the field (rounded down) remains and those who bag will be in the money. Day 2 will then start at the earliest blind level of the three flights on Sunday, January 25, where the event will play down to a winner.
| Day | Date | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1b | January 24 | 11:00 a.m. |
| Day 1c | January 24 | 6:00 p.m. |
| Day 2 | January 25 | 12:00 p.m. |
