Jimmy Eckles Takes It
Level 6
: 300/600, 600 ante
Jimmy Eckles opened from the cutoff to 1,300 and the button raised to 3,100. Eckles called.
The flop came 
and Eckles checked. The button bet 5,000 and Eckles raised to 34,100 — grabbing a big stack of chips and setting them in the middle.
His raise was enough to cover his opponent. His opponent thought briefly, then folded.

RGPS Tunica Horseshoe Main Event Players: Edward Allen
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
Edward Allen got fifth in the RGPS Tunica main event in March during the Showbound season.
He's looking to improve upon that finish and claim one of the championship rings from Signature Rings here this weekend.
Allen owns a tax prep business and has been doing that for about ten years.
He's got two kids, one in high school and one in middle school.
He says his wife Julie watches the updates when he's playing tournaments. They've been married for more than 16 years.
The couple has lived in Birmingham, AL for about the last 12 years.
Allen is off to a good start early in Day 1C with three starting stacks heading into level six.
