Karn Can't Fade the Flush

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Papa Karn
Papa Karn

Papa Karn got his last 8,500 in from the small blind, and was at risk against Cecilia Foster in the cutoff.

Papa Karn: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Cecilia Foster: {k-Spades}{10-Spades}

Karn looked primed to double after the {2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop, but running spades on the {q-Spades} turn and {5-Spades} river gave Foster a flush and eliminated Karn.

Booth Fills Up For a Knockout

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Kristen Booth
Kristen Booth

Four players invested 5,000 a piece to see a {5-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop together. Action checked to Kristen Booth, who bet 15,000. The player next to act jammed for 25,600, and action folded back to Booth, who quickly called.

Opponent: {8-Spades}{6-Spades}
Kristen Booth: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Booth's opponent went with the open-ended straight draw, but it was Booth who improved on the {a-Diamonds}, {5-Spades} runout, rivering a full house for the knockout.

"Sorry man," Booth told her opponent after the hand, to which her opponent smiled and said, "Don't be sorry! You nailed it!"

Hood Finds the Perfect River to Double Through Skreens Into the Chip Lead

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Bryan Skreens
Bryan Skreens

One player was already all in and a substantial pot was brewing on the side between Bryan Skreens in early position and Benjamin Hood in the cutoff.

Skreens checked a {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds} board over to Hood, who bet 14,000. Skreens check-raised to 40,000, and Hood called.

Skreens checked the {j-Hearts} river, and Hood quickly pushed his remaining 57,200 in the middle.

"That's the one card I didn't want to see!" Skreens exclaimed, standing up in response. He eventually made the call for most of his stack with {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}, but his premonition turned out to be spot on, as Hood rolled over {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for a full house, and after the original all in player mucked his {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}, Hood earned a knockout and leapt to one of the biggest stacks in the room.

Ryan Fetherkile Takes Overall Chip Lead Into Day 2 of Record Breaking RGPS Horseshoe Council Bluffs Main Event

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

A record-setting day awaited the RunGood Poker Series Hollywood Council Bluffs $575 Main Event, as Day 1b (277 entrants) and Day 1c (304 entrants) brought the total field to a RGPS record 852 entrants. Of the 581 entrants in today's two flights, just 108 (47 from 1a, 61 from 1b) made it through to Day 2, joining the 55 that earned their ticket in Friday's Day 1a.

Of the two flights, the overall chip leader of the day was Day 1b's Ryan Fetherkile, who bagged up 297,500 chips to take the lead. Fetherkile's rise to the top was punctuated by a kings over queens battle that netted him a large pot in the latter stages of the day, which helped him narrowly edge Horseshoe Council Bluffs poker dealer Michael Briggs (254,000) for the day's chip lead.

Day 1b's chip leader was Kip Smith, who bagged 283,000 to fall a few thousand chips shy of the aforementioned Fetherkile Day 2. Smith was at an action table for the latter portion of the day, with Twitch Streamer Alex "AlexOptional" Green (100,000) and Timothy Sciscoe (224,000) both at the table, and the trio traded blows for much of the day. Smith ended up as the victor in terms of chips, and takes over 90 big blinds to Day 2.

Not everyone was able to make it through to Day 2, however, including RunGood Ambassadors Daniel Lowery and Emily Larson, Luke Blindert, Bryan Skreens, and Pete Dirksen.

Day 2 will kick off at Noon on Sunday, June 27th, with the remaining 163 players playing down to a champion. Play will resume with 15-minutes remaining in Level 13 (2,000/3,000 ante 3,000), and levels will be 45-minutes in length for the remainder of the tournament.

PokerNews will be here providing all the action from start to finish, so be sure to stay tuned as we crown the latest RunGood Poker Series champ and award another coveted All Stars Ring and a Pro-Am seat into the All-Stars Event at the end of the year!
