Coffman Looking for a RGPS Ring to Compliment Latest WSOPC Victory
The World Series of Poker Circuit Choctaw Durant recently wrapped up its stop elsewhere in Oklahoma, and it's no surprise to see many of those players make the trip to the Hard Rock Tulsa for the RGPS. One such player is Cody Coffman, who actually had some big success at the WSOPC stop.
In Event #1: $400 Monster Stack, 765 entrants competed over two starting flights, which resulted in a $252,450 prize pool. In the end, 24-year-old Coffman of Tulsa bested Robert Miller in heads-up play to win the title for $47,458 and his first gold ring. He did so by coming into Day 2 as the overall chip leader.
“Yeah, I mean, I didn’t like being top just because it puts pressure on you… but obviously I prefer it. Because of my cash game background, I like playing deeper. It’s better for me anyway,” said Coffman, a full-time student at Northeastern State studying Cyber Security.
He added: “It feels great. I mean, I usually play cash. Cash games are more steady. You don’t come in and buy in for four hundred and win 47k, so it’s just insane. It’s a great feeling … I mean, I’ve played instead of having a job through college and I love it, it’s fun, but it’s just not something I’d want to do as a job. It’s just a hobby… I just want to work full time and play. I’ll still play a ton.”
Coffman is in action today looking to add a Signature Championship Ring to one of his fingers.
