Things were desperate early for Brandon Fish at RunGood Poker Series Horseshoe Council Bluffs. The two-time World Series of Poker Circuit ring winner came into the final day with a solid stack but found himself all in and at risk for about 12 big blinds just 45 minutes into Day 2. His hit two pair against and he survived. A bit later, with just over eight big blinds, he got in against and again watched his opponent brick out.
Fish made those early strokes of good luck count as he went on to win the 283-player tournament for $34,267 and a $2,000 Blaycation package to the RunGood Cup Championship, which will be held in New Orleans this December.
