On Monday night, Gold Pass winners were treated to a special event at Jalisco Underground here at Resorts World—welcome drinks and a comedy show featuring Joe Stapleton and Morgan Jay, a musician and comedian based in Los Angeles who has appeared on MTV's Wild'N'Out, NBC, and Comedy Central.
It was a fun night filled with lots of laughs, as evidenced by some of these photos by Trevor Scott.
Thomas Fuller opened to 300 from the cutoff and Eric Baldwin defended from the big blind.
The flop came A♣6♦4♦ and Baldwin check-called a 300 continuation-bet from Fuller.
Fuller bet another 700 when checked to on the 10♥ turn and this time it was enough to force a fold from Baldwin.

With 1,600 in the pot and a flop of 2♣9♦3♠6♥, Lee Jackson, a Toronto commercial real estate professional and father of three who won his way into this tournament via a free Step 1 ticket, checked from the small blind, and Michael Harris, who won a Gold Pass by finishing the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) as the 'Golden Player of the Series,' bet 1,000.
Jackson called and then shifted gears by leading out for 1,500 when the 3♣ completed the board on the river. Harris called with the A♣9♣ for nines and threes with an ace kicker, which was good as Jackson showed the A♦K♣ for the ace-high bluff.
