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.

Jesse Grier Doubles Through Kerry Dawson

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Jesse Grier opened to 3,600 from middle position and Kerry Dawson made it 6,000. The player in the big blind shoved for 10,200 and Grier was next to act.

He raised to 27,500 and Dawson called.

The flop was {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Grier moved all in for 38,000 more. Dawson didn't take long to call, but tabled {a-Spades}{j-Hearts} and needed help to catch the {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} of Grier.

The all-player tabled his hand, {j-}{8-} and the turn was the {9-Spades} giving him some hope.

The river was the {k-Clubs} and Grier held to eliminate his opponent and double through Dawson, who lost two pots in a row.
