Downstream Champ's Shove Gets Through

Back in February, Saied Moradi topped a field of 328 players to win the 2015 RunGoodGear.com Poker Series Main Event at the Downstream Casino Resort, which is located on the outskirts of Joplin, Missouri. As part of a four-way chop, Moradi took home $27,116 for his performance.

Moradi is in action today looking to claim back-to-back titles, but he's had a rough go of it so far. Moradi has been nursing a short stack, and in a recent hand, Terry "Papa" Karn limped from early position and inspired a middle-position player to do the same. The button called, and then Moradi moved all in for 4,650 from the small blind. Karn folded, as did the other two players, and Moradi increased his stack significantly without having to see a flop.

Meanwhile, Josh Reichard has been eliminated from the tournament for the second time today.
