Jeff Plat

[Removed:139], host of the PokerNews podcast and of The Big Blind on PokerGO, was in the small blind and raised to 2,300.

The big blind made it 7,000 to go and Platt moved all in. The big blind quickly called.

Platt had {k-}{k-} against the {q-}{q-} of the big blind.

The board provided a bit of a sweat as it ran out {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Platt won the hand and eliminated the player in the big blind.

A Good Flop

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

Lisa Costello opened from middle position to 700 and got three callers.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and three players checked, including Costello. The last player to act bet 1,200 and Costello was the lone caller.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and Costello checked again. Her opponent bet 2,200 and Costello called.

The river was the {9-Hearts} and Costello checked a third time. Her opponent bet 5,000 and Costello moved all in for 16,400.

Her opponent talked through potential hands and then called.

Costello quickly flipped two kings, {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and ran her hand over the top as it to flatten them out.

Her opponent hesitated and then joked about checking his cards to see if he could beat it. He flipped {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and was left with about 300 chips.

"Uneventful Start" For Barstool Nate

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Barstool Nate and [Removed:139]
Barstool Nate and [Removed:139]

Barstool Nate took his seat about halfway through level two after finishing up with the RunGood Family dinner, a tradition during the RGPS main events.

After a few minutes and some losing hands, Nate raised to 400 from the middle position.

"I've played three hands and I've lost three hands," he said shortly before raising.

He got one caller from the small blind.

The flop came {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and the small blind checked. Nate bet 500 and his opponent called.

The turn was the {3-Hearts} and Nate bet 1,200 after the small blind checked again. This time the small blind folded.

Nate raised the next hand, making it 400 to go again.

He got called from the big blind and went heads up to the {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop.

The big blind check-called 500.

The turn was the {4-Spades} and the big blind checked again. Nate bet 1,100 and took down the pot to make it two in a row.

On the third hand, Nate raised again. Another raise to 400, but this time he was three-bet by the player to his immediate left. Paul Strohm called the 1,100 from the big blind and Nate also called.

The three players checked the {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop.

Strohm led for 2,500 when the {5-Clubs} hit the turn.

Both Nate and the three-bettor folded and Strohm took down the pot.
