RunGood Poker Series All Stars Comeback Tour Seminole Coconut Creek
Three players limped into the pot before Mark Hodge raised to 2,500 in the cutoff. Two of the limpers called, then Gerard Donaghy limp-raised all in for 4,700 from the hijack. Hodge four-bet shoved for 9,600, and everyone else folded.
While the dealer was making change after everyone else folded, Donaghy gave Hodge a peek at his hand.
"I'm in big trouble!" Hodge remarked.
Gerard Donaghy: ![]()
![]()
Mark Hodge: ![]()
![]()
"Puppy paws!" Hodge said to the dealer, looking for some clubs to steal the victory from Donaghy. None would fall on a ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
board, and Hodge called Donaghy a "dream crusher" with a laugh as Donaghy stacked up the pot.

While our live updates this weekend are focused on the $600 Main Event, this tournament is actually the culmination of a week's worth of tournaments.
Earlier this week, Event #2: $130 Opening Night Ring Event more than doubled its $10,000 guarantee as 211 runners generated a $20,678 prize pool. The top 27 finishers got paid including Nick Visconti (10th - $434), Wade Hinds (14th - $372), Barry Chazen (16th - $310), Jason Casten (19th - $248), Maxton Goncalves (23rd - $191), and Mark Brannick (26th - $154).
The title came down to Lucas Tae and Kimani McKoy, and the two battled in a lengthy heads-up affair. Ultimately it was Tae, a WSOP Circuit ring winner, who prevailed to claim a $5,028 first-place prize. The win came a month after he finished runner-up in the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Event #7: $200 NLH Big Stack for a career-high $37,055.
