Four-Way Dance Benefits Silverstein and Spinder

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

A player raised to 2,000 from under the gun, and Jeffrey Silverstein called next to act. Greg Spinder three-bet shoved for 11,300 in middle position, and the cutoff called off for 5,800. The under-the-gun player then four-bet shoved, and Silverstein instantly called for 58,200 total.

Cutoff: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}
Greg Spindler: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Jeffrey Silverstein: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Under-the-gun: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Spinder held on the {3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop, but the {k-Diamonds} turn gave the under-the-gun player a host of outs, as any jack or diamond would ship the entire massive pot their way. A harmless {5-Clubs} hit the river, however, and Spinder nearly quadrupled up, while Silverstein won a monster side pot with his queens.

Scott Baumstein: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Baumstein's eights held on a {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Spades} board, and he eliminated his opponent.

RGPS Heads West in September for Return Visit to San Diego's Jamul Casino

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Jamul Casino
Jamul Casino

The newly revamped RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) “All-Stars Comeback Tour Powered by PokerGO” season will be heading back out West in September for a return trip to Jamul Casino in San Diego, California. PokerNews will be on-site to offer live updates from the $575 buy-in Main Event.

The Jamul Casino stop in early June saw record-breaking numbers including a 558-entry Main Event field. 65-year-old retired Navy veteran Armando Mesina, who a month earlier won the MSPT Sycuan $360 Regional Event for $33,329, won the tournament for $25,175 after a rare nine-way final table deal.

The latest series will feature more tournament tables that will run from September 7-12. The San Diego Card Sharks logo will be filling the room up once again as the tour plans on bringing more giveaway items to promote the All-Stars ProAm event at the PokerGO Studio in December.

Fan-favorite events like the $135 Guest Bounty and $185 DeepStack ring events will return alongside the Seniors Ring Event moved from Sunday to Tuesday. The property will be catering a casual “Welcome Back Party” at Loft 94 which will begin at 5:30 p.m. PT on September 7th.

Enter Waxman

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Matt Waxman in previous action
Matt Waxman in previous action

The recently vacated seat of Athanasios Polychronopoulos was filled by another tough player in Matt Waxman, and the list of accomplishments Waxman has under his belt is staggering to look at.

Waxman earned a WSOP Gold Bracelet in 2013 after taking down Event #7: $1,000 No Limit Hold'em for $305,952. He also owns a WSOP Circuit Ring, but perhaps more impressive are his pair of WPT titles, including a victory in one of the toughest fields in poker, the Season XVI WPT Tournament of Champions in 2018 for $463,375.

Waxman will be looking for more titles to add to his trophy case, and the Florida native has plenty of time to build a stack before the day concludes at around 6 p.m. EST.

[Removed:286]: {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

Anjos' top two pair held on for the double after the {2-Spades} turn and {k-Diamonds} river bricked off for [Removed:294], and Anjos slammed the table with his fist in celebration before scooping in the double.

A quick scan of the room found Stephen Smith, who finished in fourth-place in Event #1: $250 Super Stack NLH (Re-Entry), holding a massive stack of 165,000 just before registration closes for Day 1a.

That same scan also brought three new names to the felt; Jamie Kerstetter, Justin Gardenhire, and Ray Henson, who were all part of the RunGood All-Star Cash Game that went deep into the night, all grabbed seats just before break.
