Steven McKoy

It was four-ways to a Qs6h3s turn and Steven McKoy bet 30,000 from middle position. Jamie Kerstetter was the only one to come along and she called from the button.

The turn was 9d, McKoy checked, Kerstetter bet 90,000 and McKoy check-raised all in for 280,000. Kerstetter quickly called and put McKoy at risk.

Kerstetter: 9c9h
McKoy: KhQh

McKoy flopped top pair queens but was drawing dead to the 5s river against Kerstetter’s set of nines.

Jamie Kerstetter – 764,000 (76 bb)

Sean Shah

On the second hand on the bubble, action folded to Daniel Pearlman on the button and he opened to 17,000. Sean Shah moved all in for 85,000 from the big blind and Pearlman quickly called.

Then they waited for the action to finish at the other tables. Once they were done, we saw the hands.

Pearlman: AsAd
Shah: JcJd

A big bubble cooler for Shah and never found a sweat as the dealer ran out the KsTs7h2d6h board to exit on the bubble.

Daniel Pearlman – 275,000 (34 bb)
Sean Shah – Eliminated in 77th Place

Luke Brereton

On the last hand before the break, Luke Brereton and Nadya Magnus were heads up to a 8h5c3d flop. Brereton bet 85,500 from the small blind leaving a single 5K chip behind. Magnus put him all in and he thought for a few minutes before he called.

Magnus: KhKd
Brereton: 7d6d

Magnus was ahead with her pair of kings and Brereton needed to hit his open-ended straight draw to stay in the game. The board finished with the Js turn and Tc river to send Brereton out.

With 77 players remaining on break and 76 getting paid, they will go into hand-for-hand mode on the bubble when they return.

Nadya Magnus – 452,000 (75 bb)
Luke Brereton – Eliminated

Solange Lucas

Solange Lucas was the only player in today’s field to take advantage of the best-stack-forward format. She bagged in Flight A, was not happy with her stack, and bagged bigger in Flight C.

But the good news ended here. She got her stack in the middle with big slick versus big slick and was the victim of the unlucky four flush to out short of the money bubble.

Manny Minaya – 370,000 (62 bb)

The field is dropping closer to the money bubble as they get ready to head into Level 17. The pace will slow as some cash appears on the horizon but they should get there before the first break.

Jeff Platt isn’t the only RunGood Ambassador having a good day. Jamie Kerstetter began the day with 139,000 but WSOP commentator is now up to 373,000 at the right time.

Jeff Platt trying to keep track of his stack

Jeff Platt is having himself a nice start to Day 2. He began with the fourth-biggest bag of the day and was already spinning it up when he got into a hand with Jacob Flasterstein.

Flasterstein opened to 9,000 from early position and Platt three-bet to 27,000 from the cutoff.

“You want to play or do you want to gamble?” Flasterstein asked.

“A little of both?” Platt shrugged/laughed.

Flasterstein called, the flop came AdJc7s and he checked. Platt bet 15,000 and Flasterstein check-raised to 45,000. Platt called, the turn was 7d, Flasterstein moved all in for 98,500 and Platt quickly called.

Platt: JhJs
Flasterstein: AcQd

Flasterstein immediately stood up when he saw he was drawing to two out against Platt’s full house and was eliminated after the 6s river.

Jeff Platt – 907,500 (227 bb)

Haim Toorgeman

After an early position raise to 9,000, Haim Toorgeman moved all in for 70,500 from middle position. Terry “Papa” Karn asked for a count, thought about coming along, but folded from the cutoff. Antonio De Silva shipped from the small blind to get a fold from the big and OG raiser.

Toorgeman: QsQh
De Silva: AcKc

Toorgeman needed his queens to hold to double but De Silva nailed the 9c6c5c for the nut club flush. The board finished 5h turn and Th river to send Toorgeman out early on Day 2.

Antonio De Silva – 163,500 (41 bb)

Kevin Blewitt

Three starting flights are in the books for the 2022 RunGood Main Event and we had 608 entries in the field to create a fantastic prize pool that nearly tripled the $200,000 guarantee. Today, 134 players return with a chance to win the trophy and a seat in the RunGood All-Stars ProAM in Las Vegas.

Kevin Blewitt bagged the biggest stack and returns with the lead followed by Vladimir Grechnikov. But everyone has some work ahead of them with only 76 making the money.

Level last 40 minutes all day long until someone walks away with the $111K top prize.

Cards go back in the air at noon and we will be here the entire time witnessing the runs.
