Poker media member Terrance Reid is listed as the Live Events Manager for Poker.org. While he does spend plenty of time working in the industry, Reid is also an avid player. The Missouri native and current California resident managed to secure his largest live tournament score ever on Monday, Aug. 5, by taking down the RunGood Poker Series $2,500 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event that was part of the Destination: RunGood Season Finale at the Thunder Valley Casino Resort near Sacramento. Reid overcame a field of 455 entries, earning $192,755 and the title after striking a three-way deal that brought the event to a close.
Reid now has more than $408,000 in recorded tournament earnings. Prior to this huge victory, his top score was a third-place finish in a $8000 buy-in RGPS tournament last fall for $46,600.
In addition to the title and the money, Reid also scored 1,080 Card Player Player of the Year points. This was his third final-table finish of the year. With 1,424 total points, he now sits inside the top 250 in the 2024 POY standings presented by Global Poker.
This event featured a $1,000,000 guarantee. The 455-entry turnout resulted in a final prize pool of $1,015,105 that was paid out among the top 68 finishers. Several big names ran deep, including World Poker Tour champion Taylor Black (7th), Darren Rabinowitz (5th), and bracelet winner and two-time WPT champion Jared Jaffee (4th).
2023 champion of this tournament Tyler Patterson (6th), who is a WPT champion and bracelet winner, continued an impressive streak of finale-tabling this event three times in a row. He finished second in the season finale at this venue back in 2022, and then first in 2023. This time around he placed sixth for $39,190.
Jaffee’s elimination in fourth place came at the hands of Reid, who took a massive chip lead into three-handed play. The event concluded when Reid came to an agreement with Lee Markholt and Steven Ritchie based on ICM-chop numbers. Markholt, a WPT champion, earned $124,540 as the official runner-up, while Ritchie secured $110,000 as the third-place finisher.
