Chad Summers

There was a quick break after Level 18 to keep the field on schedule and it gave us a chance to check out the stacks after 45 minutes of play.

Chad Summers came back for Day 2 with a stack slightly above average at 218,000. But now he sits at the top of the counts with 705,000 to lead after the break. Carlos Rojas is second with 700,000 followed by James Salmon’s 678,000 and Francois Gagne’s 686,000.

They will play four more levels before getting another break.

Jonathan Marcu

Jonathan Marcu was down to 94,000 and open-shoved from middle position. Carlos Rojas took a minute on the button, he called with his big stack, and the blinds folded.

Rojas: 8c8d
Marcu: AdKh

It was a race and Marcu needed to improve to double up. The board ran out Th9c4d9s5d, no help for Marcu, and he was eliminated in 80th place.

Marcu is coming off a nice run in Hollywood when he cashed three times in their Poker Showdown series with two final tables, both resulting in third place finishes.

Carlos Rojas – 690,000 (86 bb)
Jonathan Marcu – Eliminated in 80th Place ($692)

Event 1: Dropping Fast; David Williams Sticks Around

David Williams

As expected, a lot of short stacks hit the payout desk when they were unable to spin it up. Mark Cannon and Solange Lucas began Day 2 with less than a starting stack and dropped early but David Williams is sticking around for a little longer.

He saw Joseph Murphy move all in from early position for about 60,000 and Akeelo Rhoden came along with the bigger stack. Williams was sitting in the big blind with only 13,000 after paying the ante and called at risk.

Murphy: 5c5s
Rhoden: AsJs
Williams: 7h3c

Williams needed to catch something to triple up and flopped an open-ended straight draw on the Ts9c8c flop that got there on the 6h turn. The Ad river finished the board to improve Rhoden for the bigger side pot. Williams tripled and Rhoden made a nice addition despite having the second-best hand.

David Williams – 45,000 (6 bb)
Akeelo Rhoden – 145,000 (18 bb)
Joseph Murphy – Eliminated

Francois Gagne

We kicked off the 2022 RunGood Poker Series with a big, multi-flight event and it was a huge success. The $400 buy-in Super Stack tournament drew 798 entries over three starting levels to turn the $100,000 guarantee into a prize pool worth $259,350.

We had 101 players advance to Day 2 this afternoon in the money but only 100 will start the day because we have a min-cash already. Eric Polirer bagged in two different flights so he will make $524 for the smaller bag and put the bigger stack in play at the start.

Francois Gagne took the chip lead halfway through Flight C and returns with the biggest stack to start Day 2. James Salmon is second with Christopher Barnes, Raynner Martinez, and Jarom Best rounding out the top five returners.

Action gets back underway with 15:49 remaining in Level 17 and the average stack is about 200,000 (33 bb).

It will be a fun day in the poker room with some big money awarded including the $46,250 top prize and seat in the RunGood All-Stars ProAM in Las Vegas.

Top 10 returning stacks:

  1. Francois Gagne – 566,000 (94 bb)
  2. James Salmon – 549,000 (92 bb)
  3. Christopher Barnes – 526,000 (88 bb)
  4. Raynner Martinez – 481,000 (80 bb)
