On Friday, December 14, RunGood's President & CEO, Tana Karn, appeared on PokerGO's Friday Night Poker show on Facebook's Stadium platform. The 4-hour show is a live stream of a $5/$10+$10 BB Ante NLHE cash game played in PokerGO's Las Vegas studio at the Aria Resort & Casino.
Karn was joined on the felt by Matt Stout, Justin Young, Eli Elezra, Frank Kassela, Christian Soto, and Delphine Szwarc. The live commentary was provided by Jeff Platt, Brent Hanks, and Amanda Leatherman, along with a sizeable contingent of RGPS players in the chat.
The minimum buy-in for the game was $500, with no maximum. Karn bought in for $1,500, with the other players on stacks of up to $5,000. Right out of the gate, the players agreed to show one card after winning a hand, and they also put on a $100 side bet for the seven-deuce game--any player who managed to win a hand holding seven-deuce would receive an additional $100 from each opponent (for a $600 bonus). Later in the show, they added a small blind jackpot to the game.
Karn mixed up his play throughout the show, alternating between trapping and value-betting. For those who missed the live stream, the show is available on demand here. And if you don't have four hours to watch the complete broadcast, we've put together an index of Karn's hands and highlights, which is shown below.
Poker Central and the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) have entered into a partnership for our 2019 season tour with streaming service PokerGO to provide tournament participants an opportunity to play on an upcoming episode of the legendary series Poker After Dark. Click here for more details.
