Who Will Walk Away with the $20,400 Thursday Thrilla Top Prize?
The biggest buy-in tournament of the Run It Up Reno VIII �C the $1,100 Thursday Thrilla �C started with 178 entries battling it out at the Peppermill Casino. Today, the final eight will return to play down to a winner with Katie Lindsay and her stack of 1.104 million leading the way.
That��s nearly a third of the chips in play, more than double her next closest competition. You might recall that earlier this year Lindsay, the wife of poker pro and online poker��s winningest tournament player Chris Moorman, was a guest on the LFG Podcast, which you can listen to here.
Joining her at the final table are Timothy Guilford (497,000), Frank Lagodich (413,000), Fintan ��Easy with Aces�� Hand (127,000), and Max Brown (140,000), who has already improved upon his 15th-place finish in this same event last year.
Remember, each player at the table has a $500 bounty on their head.
