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

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.
