Hulin Leads as the Flight Winds Down

MarkSlatcher

Huey Hulin has not only held onto the chips he won in a 4-way all-in, he's managed to chip up to almost 400,000 to start the last level of the flight. The St Martinville, Louisiana, resident is no stranger to RunGood events. He finished sixth in the RGPS Bossier Main Event in March of last year for $8,350.

But Hulin doesn't play exclusively in local tournaments. His cashes this year alone include visits to Biloxi, Las Vegas, and Durant. In all, his lifetime tournament winnings amount to $118,997.
