The Run It Up Reno IX $600 Main Event began with 760 runners �C a RIU record �C and on Monday the final nine returned to the Peppermill Resort to battle down to a winner. That ended up being a familiar face at RIU Reno in Jordan Spurlin.
��It feels pretty good. I��ve had a few deep runs but I��ve always ended up getting third or fourth in the main, so feels great,�� Spurlin said after the win. ��Third [RIU] trophy overall though, so pretty happy about that.��
The $66,000 first-place prize also marked a career-high score for Spurlin.
��I was trying to get it this summer, but no luck there. Just come to Reno and you can do it.��
Prior to the win, Spurlin��s best cash was $51,559 for finishing fifth in the 2017 World Series of Poker Event #41: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha. He also took sixth in the 2019 WSOP Event #60: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better for $47,118.
��Mission accomplished,�� Spurlin added. ��It��s always a little bit brutal because the biggest pay jump is always the last one, so if you don��t win the tournament it��s a little bit unfortunate. It feels great.��

Final Table Action
The day couldn��t have gotten off to a faster start as two players fell in the first two hands of play. Khoa Tran was the first to bust losing a flip with pocket fives to Daniel Sisemore��s ace-jack, and then Voislav Ivanovski followed him out the door after he bluffed the turn out of the big blind only to see Colton Blomberg roll over a club flush.
Not long after, Bohao ��Andy�� Zhu raised with kings and was called by Blomberg, who promptly flopped trip aces holding ace-deuce in the big blind. Blomberg check-called Zhu��s shove and the former locked it up when the turn improved him to a full house.
Sung Song took his leave after losing a flip with pocket threes to Jon Swift��s ace-ten all in preflop, and then Sisemore failed to win a flop of his own getting it in preflop holding ace-king suited and bricking against Vincent Newland��s two black tens.
Swift was next to go failing to get luck with ace-seven against Blomberg��s pocket jacks, and then a marathon three-handed match ensued. The chips rotated between the triumvirate before the short-stacked Blomberg jammed the button with ten-deuce only to have Spurlin re-jam from the small blind and hold with pocket fours.
Spurlin began heads-up play with a healthy lead and it didn��t take long for the chips to go in. Newland held queen-jack but was dominated by the ace-queen of Spurlin. Newland failed to get lucky and had to settle for second place and $40,200 in prize money.
Jason Somerville and company will return to the Peppermill Resort from April 3-13, 2020 for the 10th edition of Run It Up Reno!
