Denise Pratt Wins Event #3: Studio Ring Event

Event #3: $250 Studio Ring Event saw a total of 285 entrants over two flights, creating a total prize pool of $57,000, divided amongst the 35 players who made the second day, all in the money.

Many familiar faces found their way to the second day including 2003 WSOP Main Event Champion Chris Moneymaker (29th-$410), Mike Cordell (11th-$1,003), and Michael Sanders (10th-$1,248).

After a swingy final table, in which the chip lead flipped around multiple times, it was Denise Pratt holding a more than 2:1 chip lead over both of her opponents Ashley “PokerFaceASH” Frank and Brandon “Deeno” Johnson. A deal was negotiated where Frank and Brandon took home $8,434 and $8,435, while Pratt took home $10,000 and her first RGPS ring. Pratt also wins the freeroll to play the RunGood Poker Series Pro/Am in Las Vegas at PokerGO studio.
