Vito DiStefano

Vito DiStefano was in the big blind and snap-called a shove for around 25,000 from an opponent in early position with a {4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} board on the felt.

Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Vito DiStefano: {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}

DiStefano's set of deuces held on the {6-Clubs} river, and he let out a loud, "Let's go!" as he stacked up another big pot.

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

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

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.

Jeffrey Silverstein bet 2,000 from middle position on a {3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} flop, and Brandon Berkenfeld jammed for 14,100 on the button. Silverstein confirmed the amount, then called.

Brandon Berkenfeld: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Jeffrey Silverstein: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Silverstein shook his head when the {a-Hearts} fell on the turn, robbing him of a few outs, and the {7-Hearts} river forced him to pay off the double to Berkenfeld.

Stanfield Uses His Image

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Alain Candales Falcon raised to 2,000 from early position, and was called by Mark Lafata next to act, as well as Eric Rivera in middle position. Jon Stanfield three-bet shoved for 14,900 from the cutoff, and Falcon and Lafata folded.

"You folded to me nine times!" Rivera told Stanfield. "Your patience...has been rewarded. Big fold!" Rivera then released his hand.

"Show one time?" Rivera asked Stanfield, who simply mucked.

"I had tens," Lafata told Stanfield, who laughed and teasingly said "You guys are playing terrible poker!" with a grin.

Conrad Rivered By Nolin

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Chris Conrad was all in for 13,200 from the button, and Michael Lind had called in middle position. Joseph Nolin jammed over the top for 38,000 in the hijack, and Lind eventually folded.

Chris Conrad: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Joseph Nolin: {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

Conrad pulled ahead on the {6-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop, and while he improved further on the {3-Spades} turn, Nolin actually picked up outs to a straight. Sure enough, the {4-Spades} river fell to give Nolin a straight, and Conrad headed to the cage to fire another bullet with registration nearing an end.
