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.

RGPS Tunica Horseshoe Main Event Players: Matthew Kassela

Matthew Kassela
Matthew Kassela

Matt Kassela is in the field today. He's the Vice President of Sales at a marketing company.

He's married and he and his wife, Kimberly, have two kids.

Kassela's name might sound familiar because he is the son of 2010 World Series of Poker Player of the Year and three-time WSOP bracelet winner Frank Kassela.

Matt says he learned to play cards from his dad when he was about ten years old. He has $48,837 in career tournament winnings, most of which comes from two cashes in the WSOP main event. He just finished 744th for $20,200 this year and last year marked the first year that Frank and three of his children played the WSOP main event together.
