Jason Somerville finished in 3rd place for $5,500 in the last Thursday Thrilla!
It’s finally here! The biggest event of the Run It Up Reno series begins at Noon with the $1,100 NLH Thursday Thrilla $500 Knockout! There’s a whopping $50,000 guaranteed in this event, so you certainly don’t want to miss all of this value.
Players begin with 20,000 chips and will play 30-minute levels. Registration remains open for 10 levels and will close at approximately 5:20 p.m. There will be a break every four levels with a dinner break after Level 12.
A detailed look at the structure can be found here.
April’s edition of the Thursday Thrilla attracted 90 entries for a prize pool of $45,000 + $45,000 in bounties. Steve Nevius is the reigning champion and has been playing on a daily basis, so it would be no surprise if he came to defend his title. Jason Somerville made the final table in this event also, finishing in 3rd place, so look for him to seek redemption and take down RIU’s biggest buy-in event in history!
