Last Time at Graton Casino

Last fall at Graton Casino, the $800 RGPS Main Event saw a total of 837 entrants created a massive prizepool of $585,900. Two players remained at the tournament’s close and after a deal was struck, Joe Nguyen finished in second place to Anne Bui.

Bui took home her first RGPS main event title, and a career best score of $87,425. “I can’t believe it,” the newly crowned champion said with a smile beaming across her face “I still can’t believe it, my first ever win. It was a lot of fun, everyone played great, I got lucky.”

Just weeks after a runner-up finish in the WSOPC event at Graton, Bui claimed not only her biggest lifetime score, but her first listed win on The Hendon Mob. The Bay Area regular had $184,459 in lifetime earnings prior to this final table, adding a hefty sum to that total.
