The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is at Downstream Casino to live report this weekend’s $575 RGPS Main Event, but in the lead-up there have been several side events.

One of them took place on opening night and saw 177 runners create an $18,585 prize pool in the $135 Pro Bounty tournament. The top 18 players got a piece of it and among those to cash but fall short of making the final table were Joe Gatlin (10th - $446), Fisher Friend (11th - $446), Shawn Powers (12th - $446), Brian Craddock (13th - $353), Thao Xiong (14th - $353), Melvin Anthony (15th - $353), Deb Phillips (16th - $297), Ross Laney (17th - $297), and Kevin Suneson (18th - $297).

In the end, it was Sandra Main coming out on top by defeating Mary Bybee in heads-up play to win the title and $5,018 first-place prize.

Happy Birthday to the Milkman and Updated Chip Counts

David Cantrell is celebrating his 80th birthday today at the RGPS Downstream main event.

His table has nicknamed him 'The Milkman' since he's worked his way up to 58,000 already through almost four levels of play.

The table joined in singing Happy Birthday to him and he seems to have taken to the new nickname.

Carroll Christiansen Makes a Boat

Carroll Christiansen was heads up with the board reading {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and his opponent bet 300. Christiansen called.

The turn was the {k-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The river was the {a-Spades}, pairing the board.

The first player checked and Christiansen bet 2,000. His opponent reluctantly called the bet and Christiansen showed {a-}{j-} for a full house.

His opponent flipped {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts} over in his hand before tossing it into the muck.

Charles Aron Has Played One Hand So Far

"I played one hand, and I played it poorly," said Charles Aron.

Aron is an author and attorney from Laramie, WY who now lives in Kansas City. He won a little more than $40,000 after finishing second in the RGPS Kansas City main event in May 2018.

Aron said he traveled here just for the tournament and has made it to several RGPS stops.

He's a published author who got a kick out of The Tattered Cover, a famous bookstore in Denver, CO, putting his book 'A Thread in the Labyrinth' in the philosophy section of their store.

Cards in the Air

There are 39 players kicking off the first flight of the RGPS Downstream main event. This stop is unique because the usual start time for the Friday flight is 7 p.m.

For this stop, there are two flights on Friday and one afternoon flight Saturday to leave Saturday evening for the partners No-Limit Hold'em event.

Dan Lowery is in the field as the first card comes off the deck as well as many of the locals who have been playing the events throughout the week.
