Who Will Win The RunGood Poker Series Tulsa Main Event?
After two days and three flights of play, Day 2 of The RunGood Poker Series $600 Main Event at Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma begins at 12 pm with 81 players returning. The 649 entrant created a total prizepool of $337,480 which guarantees all remaining players a minimum of $1,147 and puts all eyes on the first place prize of $62,911.
Leading the way with an impressive 1,011,000 in chips is Texas resident and RGPS ambassador Kris Burchfield. With 9 RGPS final tables, Burchfield’s top finish in a main event was second place at Council Bluffs 2019 for $23,829. Burchfield has given himself a massive lead on the remaining field and will be an absolute force to compete with as the field dwindles down.
