Brian Winter Leads RGPS Player of the Year Race
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Last time in Tulsa, Brian Winter won the Flip 'n' Go ring event before he jumped into the Pot Limit Omaha ring event with just moments left in registration. He went on to win that tournament and claim his second ring of the afternoon.
Winter’s other 2023 RGPS rings include a win in the One Day Ring Event in St. Louis, two events in Tunica, and a $16,760 prize in the $250 Deepstack in last January’s Tulsa event.
The big year gives Winter a sizable lead in the RGPS Player of the Year Race, which will run in partnership with the Global Poker Index.
How it works:
- Leaderboard Points: Players will score points based on their performance in RunGood Poker Series events by the Global Poker Index ranking system.
- Five Winners: The tally started on August 29, 2023, and ends June 1, 2024. The top five players on the leaderboard will win a seat in the 2024 Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship and a $500 travel stipend.
- Immortality: The top player will be featured forever on tour with a RunGood Player of the Year banner.
