Welcome to Kinder Garden

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Meet the Kinders of Imperial, Missouri. Father Marty, and sons Kyle, Ryan, and Drew. They've been playing poker tournaments together for a little more than a year. Kyle briefly held the chip lead in Flight B before bagging 133,000 at the end of the flight. The remainder of the Kinders are all in contention in Flight C.

Marty says they came to the RGPS at Downstream in December so that Drew, the youngest, could play. "Drew is 18, so he can't play most places. But he can here," Marty tells us. So far, the Kinders have cashes in HPT events, including a couple final tables and four-digit prizes.

Knowing sibling rivalry, Kyle's 133,000 chips is the real target for Ryan and Drew. Though making to Day 2 would be nice, too.

The RGPS Record No One Wants

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

The record holder for most RGPS Main Event final tables without a championship is currently a tie between Jesse Jones and RG Ambassador Daniel Lowery.

Both have five RGPS ME final table appearances, and both have finished second. With the opportunity to win a seat onto Poker After Dark at the PokerGO studios in Las Vegas, there's no time like now to make a final table. But Jesse Jones is never one to play for second place.

Lowery punched his ticket into Day 2 during Flight A, where he bagged up 48,500 chips. Jones is among the field in Flight C, and eyeing another deep run.

Reginald "Shawn" Roberts Enters the Fray

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Reginald "Shawn" Roberts
Reginald "Shawn" Roberts

HPT Legend Reginald "Shawn" Roberts has entered Flight C of the RGPS Main Event, and on his second bullet in Level 3. Reginald took down second place and $120,146 at the HPT Black Hawk Main Event earlier this month. But that's just the beginning of his $1.1M resumè.

Roberts is no stranger to the RGPS. The Ozark, Missouri native has a modest RGPS Main Event cash among his other accomplishments, from a 13th-place finish for $2,490 at Downstream last December. His first taste of a RunGood Poker Series was in April 2017 at the Harrah's North Kansas City, where he made it to Day 2 with 37,500 but fell short of the money.

Roberts is better known as a three-time HPT Main Event Champion, WPT Deepstacks champion, WSOPC ring holder, with dozens of final table appearances at major events. No doubt, a deep run is in the cards for this veteran of the felt.
