$250 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry) $25,000 Guaranteed | Structure Level 4: 200/300 with a 300 ante Flight A Entries: 55
The Flight A entry count is moving up and the tournament is nearly halfway to its $25,000 guarantee before the afternoon hours. A casual start to the day but players are beginning to make the move to get a seat.
Jeff Platt was one of those here early and making his first appearance during the series. The RunGood Ambassador is best known as one of the top members of the PokerGo broadcast team but he also has some nice poker results. He picked up the biggest cash of his career in October when he made the final table of the WSOP $1,000 Double Stack, finishing fourth out of 3,991 entries for $160K.

The easy start to Event 4 is moving along as more players wipe the sleep from their eyes and make their way up the elevator to the Poker Room. We kicked things off with 15 entries and we’re up to 40 after a level and more expected.
A few familiar faces in the early crowd include “Papa” Karn, Michael Tait, Mark Cannon, and Francois Gagne.

2021 RunGood Series Seminole Casino Coconut Creek $600 RunGood Main Event (Re-Entry) $50,000 Guaranteed Entries: 519 Prize Pool: $275,070 August 27-29, 2021
The RunGood All-Stars brought their poker tour to South Florida and we hosted five different ring events headlined by the $600 buy-in $50,000 guarantee Main Event. The 519 entries smashed the guarantee and Raminder Singh added to an already impressive résumé by taking the title along with $45,456 after a heads-up deal.
“This definitely ranks way high up; in (Seminole) Coconut Creek Casino, I’ve never won a big tournament here,” Singh said. “This is my first major tournament win at Coconut Creek, and I’m looking forward to many more!”
The two starting flights combined to push the prize pool up to $275,070 with the fantastic turnout this weekend and we had 74 of them survive to make Day 2 on Sunday. With 65 players getting paid, the money bubble came around halfway through the first level of the return and the pace was quick through most of the day.
Notables making the money included Solange Lucas who began Day 2 with only five big blinds and Angela Lynn who made the money with less than two. WPTDeepStacks Hollywood champ Scott Baumstein caught a tough cooler with kings into aces after the bubble and Jeffrey Ginocchi came one spot away from making the final table.
David Albertson, RunGood Event 1 champion, made another deep run and made it to fourth place before exiting the Main Event. That virtually locked up his RunGood Casino Champion crown with a trip to an exclusive tournament in Las Vegas in December.
It came down to a heads-up match between two tough South Florida players. Two-time WSOP Circuit winner TK Miles versus multi-SHRP champ Singh. Both players won a tournament at the recent Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open in Hollywood and it was a long battle.
With Singh holding a slight chip lead, the two agreed to an even deal to divide the remaining prize pool awarding Singh the Main Event title. Both earned $45,456 with Singh taking the RunGood All-Stars ring and earning a seat into the RunGood All-Stars Comeback event at the PokerGo Studios in December.
“TK is one of the best players here in Florida; he plays solid, and I was really looking forward to that match.” Singh commented “We both were almost even in chips, and we decided to chop. He’s a good guy; good player.”

With Raminder Singh holding a slight lead, he came to an agreement with TK Miles to chop up the remaining prize pool right down the middle with Singh taking the title, the ring, and the RunGood All-Stars exclusive tournament in Las Vegas.

There have been few big pots in the heads-up match and nothing game-changing. Two tough players, deep stacks, and 40-minute levels; neither is going to give it away.

Mike Masri limped from the small blind, Raminder Singh raised to 300,000 and Masri called. The flop came and Masri checked. Singh bet 350,000, Masri check-raised all in for 1,300,000 and Singh quickly called.
Singh: Masri:
Masri needed to catch a spade or some magic running cards to double against Singh’s set and hit his flush on the turn. His joy was short-lived as the river paired the board to improve Singh to a full house sixes over fives.
Raminder Singh – 5,280,000 (88 bb) Mike Masri – Eliminated in 3rd Place ($24,096)
