Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player in the cutoff raised to 2,600 and Mark McGarity called from the button before the big blind shoved for 7,600. Both players called and action was three ways.

The flop was 10♥8♣Q♠ and the cutoff shoved his remaining chips. McGarity called without hesitation and the cards were all turned up.

Big Blind: 2♠2♥ All in
Cutoff: 10♦8♦ All in
Mark McGarity: Q♦8♥

The cutoff had two pair, but McGarity has the better two. The board finished up 4♦K♣ to seal the deal and send both players to the rail just before dinner.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was heads up with over 10,000 in the middle and J♥10♣6♣ on the board when Deborah Miller fired 30,000 into a shove for 51,600 from Mark McGarity. Miller gave it a few moments of thought before she looked him up with exact change.

Mark McGarity: A♣A♦ All in
Deborah Miller: J♦10♦

The board finished up with 5♦ on the turn and 6♥ on the river, giving McGarity aces and sixes to beat Miller's flopped two pair.

"That was a horrible river!" Miller said as the dealer mucked her hand and pushed the double to McGarity.

The RunGood Poker Series is back in Jacksonville, after a debut stop in 2023. Last year’s RGPS Jacksonville Main Event saw Antwan Prince take down the title after the final four remaining players agreed to a deal. Prince locked up $92,796, along with the bestbet trophy and the RunGood Series ring.

It easily marked the largest score of Prince’s career, despite entering Day 2 with one of the shorter stacks in the room and reaching the final table fourth in chips. The rest of the four-way deal and other final table payouts are listed below.

Action was heads up with around 5,000 in the middle and 5♣9♠4♠9♣ on the board when Marcus Schilling check-called a 2,000 bet from Ray Henson. The river was 10♣ and Schilling checked again, this time to see Henson bet 10,000. Schilling went into the tank for a few moments before he thought better of it and gave up the pot.

On the next hand, Henson bet 1,600 and a player in the big blind called. The flop was 8♣K♥2♥ and Henson's opponent check-called a bet of 1,000 to see 6♣ on the turn. Henson's opponent checked again and then shoved when the RGPS Ambassador tossed out 3,800. Henson looked him up and turned over 5♥4♥ with his opponent showing K♣9♠.

The river was A♥ and Henson picked up the flush, the pot, and the elimination.
