Justin Arnwine Defends Title at RunGood Poker Series Maryland Main Event

The buy-in for the Main Event dropped from last year's $1,700 to $1,300, which increased participation to 329 entries. The prize pool grew to $375,060, nearly matching last year’s figure.

Forty-three players made it to Day 2, with Arnwine holding the chipleader position. He invested a total of eight buy-ins during the initial starting days, but his aggressive play ultimately paid off.

The final table lasted over six hours, concluding after midnight. A pivotal moment for Arnwine came during the last three players. Jimmy Chen went all-in with A d 9 s, and Arnwine called with 2 d 2 c. The flop A c 7 h A h gave Chen trips, but the turn 2 h resulted in a full house for Arnwine, eliminating Chen in 3rd place.

Heading into the final heads-up, Maclaren Chatham had a slight lead, but Arnwine quickly turned the match in his favor. In the decisive hand, Arnwine went all-in with 8 c 8 d, and Chatham called with A s 7 c. The board 7 h K d 6 h 2 s 3 c held Arnwine's eights, confirming his second Main Event title at RGPS Maryland.
