New Champion to be Crowned in Tulsa
Niveau 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Tyler Barnes was unable to find a bag in the opening flights this week, meaning a new RGPS Tulsa Main Event champion will be crowned tonight.
Last time the RunGood Poker Series visited Tulsa, the RGPS $600 Main Event at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino drew 499 entries, generating a $260,000 prize pool that almost tripled the $100,000 guarantee.
In the end, Barnes came out on top for the $52,692 first-place prize. Barnes beat Mark Barrientos in heads-up play, while Miguel Degollado finished third and Brazos Roberts finished fourth. Kami Hudson rounded out the top five.
