Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Tyler Burke is one of the dealers at the Horseshoe Tunica. He worked his shift early today so he could fire in Day 1a of the Run Good Poker Series Main Event.

He is currently sitting at a little over double starting stack.

Burke has spent the past 2.5 years streaming video games after deciding to stop streaming poker.

He said he had a pretty big downswing and decided to take the rest of his bankroll and buy a really nice computer. He now says he is having way more fun than when he was playing poker.

"It's kind of nice to get home from work and just have a beer and play games with your friends," he said.

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Jeremy Tinsley is a regular in the fields for the RGPS. He chopped the Bossier City RGPS event last season and just chopped the RunGood Events Southern Poker Open last week.

He had a third-place finish and an 11th-place finish in RGPS Main Events last season. He has just under $600,000 in tournament winnings and is looking to make another deep run here at RGPS Tunica.

He's in good shape to do so too as he's already built up a 50,000 stack.

On his most recent hand, he got in 2,300 preflop heads up. He then bet the turn on a board and took down a 7,000 pot.
