Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action folded to a player in the cutoff who raised all in for his stack of 23,500. Then Thomas Carlin on the button went all in for 9,600, and once the blinds folded, it was the two players heads up, with Carlin at risk.
Thomas Carlin: Q♦J♦ 
Cutoff: 4♠4♦
It was a fair fight but Carlin would need to improve to stay in the tournament. But once the board ran out 4♣K♥6♣K♦8♠ his opponent flopped a set and turned a full house, to take the pot and eliminate Carlin.

A player raised to 2,400 from early position, and was called by the small blind Michael Collopy and the big blind.

All three players checked the 2♣ turn, which brought the 9♦ on the river. Collopy then bet out 6,000, which was called by the big blind and the early position player mucked. Collopy tabled A♦7♥ to take the pot with his pair of aces, as the big blind quickly mucked.

Last week on the RGPS RunGood Resort series, the $600 Main Event in Tunica attracted a total of 598 entries. After three long days of action, it was Preston McEwen who was holding the ring and $57,206 first-place prize.
McEwen is no stranger to success on the RunGood circuit, as this marked his sixth ring in the tournament series. It was a dominant performance at the final table as he was atop the chip counts for the majority of the night, and the heads-up battle with John Holley lasted just one hand.
