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.

Aces Cracked Again

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante
Shawn McCracken
Shawn McCracken

Duster Ellis was all in for his last 3,400 when Shawn McCracken called from the cutoff.

The blinds got out of the way and the cards were rolled over.

{a-Spades}{a-Clubs} for Ellis.

{k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for McCracken.

The flop came {4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades} giving McCracken some hope when the {j-Clubs} on the turn left Ellis drawing to two outs.

The {2-Clubs} fell on the river and Ellis was sent to the rail, exclaiming "At least you won't get to crack my aces again now," as he walked off.

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante
Shawn Roberts
Shawn Roberts

Shawn Roberts is in the field. He's got $1,146,292 in career tournament winnings and his four career second-place finishes are the four largest scores of his career.

He has one RunGood Poker Series cash from his 13th place finish in the Downstream main event in December 2018. He's cashed several times at this casino but only has the one RGPS cash.

Roberts has 18 top 8 finishes in his career with six tournament wins all over the midwest. He's a force to be reckoned with and should be a familiar face to any opponent who is paying attention to the tournament circuit in the area.

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Jacob Seale
Jacob Seale

Jacob Seale is a familiar face at RunGood Poker Series stops. He's got $308,048 in career tournament winnings.

Seale has two second-place finishes in RGPS events (Bossier City 2018, Kansas City 2019) and several more cashes in various RGPS events.

He has actually cashed in a main event at every RGPS stop except for Downstream. So a cash here will give him the RGPS cycle.
