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.
During February 2020's RunGood Poker Series stop here in Council Bluffs, 272 entrants took part in the $185 DeepStack NLH Ring Event. In what may be a sign of things to come in this weekend's $575 Main Event, the field more than doubled from last year's event, as a whopping 614 entrants hit the felt over two flights, building up an $89,030 prize pool (more than quadrupling the $20,000 guarantee) that went to the top 63 players.
Two players managed to walk away with a five-figure score for their two days of play, as Brent Harrington earned $11,564 for his runner-up performance. The eventual winner, Craig Dick, earned a staggering $18,704 for his efforts, along with an All-Stars Ring and 25 points for the Casino Championship.
