Blair Hinkle Wins RunGood Poker Series CardPlayer Cruise Main Event for 3rd RGPS Title
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Last weekend, the RunGood Poker Series was on the high seas! They partnered with CardPlayer Cruises to host a series of events on a seven-day cruise in the Caribbean. There was a ton of poker action, and we thought it’d be fun to highlight some of the events right here in the blog.
The $360 buy-in RGPS CardPlayer Cruises Main Event saw 209 entrants battle it out over two starting flights on the Allure of the Seas.
Among those to get a piece of the prize pool were Karina Jett (27th - $669), Chad Holloway (26th - $669), Chris Conrad (23rd - $669), Tyler Patterson (22nd - $669), Preston McEwen (16th - $760), Grant Hinkle (15th - $973), Chip Jett (13th - $973), RGPS Council Bluffs champ Nick Burris (4th - $4,318) and former RGPS CardPlayer Cruises champ Shawn Sparks (3rd - $6,082).
In the end, the title came down to World Series of Poker bracelet winners Blair Hinkle and Dieter Dechant. The former held an 8:1 chip lead entering heads-up play and it didn’t take long for things to come to a head. Dechant jammed with queen-three and Hinkle called with ace-eight. An ace in the window sealed the deal for Hinkle, and Dechant had to settle for second place and $9,001 in prize money.
It marked the third RGPS Main Event title for Hinkle, who earlier this year won both the RGPS Grand OKC and Hard Rock Tulsa.

The preflop action escaped us but we do know it resulted in a three-way all-in pot. Melinda Hettick was at risk for around 8,000 and Justin Gardenhire for 6,200 more than that. A third player had them both covered.

flop was gin for Hettick, who took the lead with a pair of queens. Neither the turn nor 
river changed a thing and Hettick tripled while Gardenhire collected the side pot.

Spriggs Shows the Bluff
Level 6
: 300/600, 600 ante
Rodney Spriggs, who is fresh off winning the WSOP Circuit Choctaw Durant Event #12: $250 NLH for $20,317 and his second circuit ring, raised to 1,600 from early position and picked up a called in the form of WSOP bracelet winner Bryan Campanello in the big blind.
