Emily Larson Hoping to Ink a Second RunGood Poker Series Victory

Emily Larson
Emily Larson

Minnesota's Emily Larson loves many things, including her profession as a tattoo artist and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Larson is also a lover of the RunGood Poker Series, as she proudly represents the RunGood Poker Series as a pro player, and she's backed up this status with the biggest win of her career coming from a RunGood Poker Series preliminary event.

In 2019's RunGood Poker Series Horseshoe Tunica stop, Larson was one of the final four players in Event #2: $185 Deepstack NLH. Wielding the chip lead, she made a deal which left her with the biggest payday of both the tournament and her career, as she netted a $12,000 payday and a championship ring for her efforts.

Larson has been here all week firing, and will be looking to make her way to her second RunGood Poker Series Final Table in hopes of topping her previous high score on tour.

Soja Makes Broadway on Hanson

Doc Hanson
Doc Hanson

Three players invested 1,000 to see a {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop together, and the small blind checked the action to Brian Soja in the big blind. Soja checked as well, and Doc Hanson bet 1,000. Both the small blind and Soja called.

The {6-Spades} turn was checked through to the {j-Diamonds} river, and the small blind checked again.

"Thirty-five," Soja said before flicking a 5k chip into the pot. Hanson quickly called, and the small blind folded. Soja tabled {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} for the nuts, and Hanson showed his {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and said, "Thought for sure I had that hand!" with a wry grin on his face.

Larson's Queens Take From Skreens

Emily Larson raised to 400 from middle position, and was called by Bryan Skreens in the hijack and the player in the big blind.

The big blind checked to Larson, who bet 600. Skreens called and the big blind folded.

Larson checked the {j-Hearts} turn, and Skreens bet 1,300. Larson called.

Both players checked the {j-Clubs} river, and Larson tabled {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}. Skreens mucked.

Soja's Day Cut Short

"Well, that was quick!" Brian Soja told the PokerNews desk as he made his exit from the poker room. "Boat over boat. Hey, that's poker!" Soja said he would not be reentering today's Day 1b flight, but may possibly give Day 1c a shot.

A quick glance at Soja's former table revealed that Timothy Sciscoe was the benefactor of the full house clash.

Big Slick Bests Big Slick

A series of raises saw Jesse McCrady get his last 18,800 in preflop from middle position with a six-bet shove, and Zarren Egesdal had him at risk on the button with a call.

Jesse McCrady: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Zarren Egesdal: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

A roar came from the table when the {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop gave McCrady the nut flush and a lock on the hand before the {2-Spades} turn or {2-Clubs} river could fall. Egesdal took the beat in stride, telling McCrady "Nice hand!" before paying off the majority of his stack.

A series of preliminary events have been taking place in the Horseshoe Council Bluffs poker room leading up to this weekend's $575 Main Event, and PokerNews is sharing brief recaps of the week's action.

The RunGood Poker Series saw a grand turnout for their signature $135 Guest Bounty Opening Night Ring event, as 261 entrants turned out to take their shot at a number of guest bounties, including Horseshoe Director Rob Brown, the poker room manager Brian Mathiessen, REC Poker's Steve Fredlund, RunGood Pros Emily Larson, Daniel Lowery, Grant Hinkle, Ross Bybee, as well as CEO Tana Karn and VP of Media Hayley Hochstetler.

Witler Jams on Hildebrand

Adolfo Chavez checked a {9-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop from the small blind, and Kerry Hildebrand checked from the big blind. Eric Witler bet 1,000 from early position, and Chavez called. Hildebrand check-raised to 3,600, and only Witler called.

Hildebrand bet 3,000 on the {j-Hearts} turn, and Witler thought for a moment before jamming for 13,600. Hildebrand, who barely had the bet covered, tanked for a few moments before releasing her hand.

Bozarth Ramps Up the Aggression

A player raised to 600 from middle position, and the player in the lojack called. Joshua Bozarth three-bet to 2,200 from the hijack, and the small blind cold called. The middle-position player folded, and the lojack called.

Action checked to Bozarth on an {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, and he fired 3,500. The small blind folded, and the lojack didn't take long to toss {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} face-up on the felt for a fold as well.
