While PokerNews is only live reporting the RGPS Tunica Main Event, it's not the only tournament that's taken place at the stop. A series of side events have taken place all week long including Event #4: $300 Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO), a tournament that attracted 80 entries and offered up a $21,040 prize pool.

Coming out on top was Brent Harrington, a familiar face in the poker world and especially on the RGPS. Harrington is a long-time poker reporter and has live reported many RGPS tournaments over the years. The one-time co-host of the PokerNews Podcast earned $6,838 for the victory, which was a nice bonus before he begins live reporting the RGPS Tunica Main Event.

Jeremy Tinsley Is Confused By Opponents Tactics

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Jeremy Tinsley
Jeremy Tinsley

Jeremy Tinsley opened to 2,300 and got three callers.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades} and two players checked before Tinsley c-bet 4,000.

The player behind him beat Tinsley into the pot with a call. He flicked Tinsley's bet to verify the correct number and the other two players folded.

He then told Tinsley to be dark because he would call to get the last 3,500 or so in.

Tinsley tossed 7,000 into the pot and his opponent hesitated for a second, then called showing {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

Tinsley had {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

The turn was the {4-Clubs} and the river was the {9-Spades} and Tinsley held to eliminate his opponent.
