Brian Craig raised to 3,000 in the hijack, Melissa King three-bet jammed for 11,000 in the cutoff, and Carl Masters called for 10,000 on the button to put himself at risk. Nolan Garrett called in the big blind and Craig decided to stick around.

Action checked down to the river on a runout of 77894 and Masters tabled 77 for quads to quadruple up.

King turned over A6 for ace-high while Nolan tabled Q4 for two pair to earn the small side pot.

Last weekend in Tunica, it took just over 12 hours on Day 2 of the 2025 RunGood Poker Series Grand Prix Tunica II to wrap up but it was all worth it for Carl Masters. Breathing a sigh of relief and satisfaction when it was all over, Masters put on a poker clinic at the final table en route to winning his third RGPS ring in the $600 Main Event at Horseshoe Casino Tunica.

It was one of the largest turnouts on tour as Masters overcame a field of 645 entries, which crushed the $200,000 guaranteed prize pool. For his victory, Masters will pocket $60,251 after overcoming a hard-fought heads-up battle with Rafael Lopez. In the last hand of the night, Masters found himself ahead the entire way and managed to fade the two live cards from Lopez to seal the deal.

Coffin Chipping Up

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action went five-ways to a flop of Q25 with 18,000 in the middle. It checked over to the player in the hijack who bet 5,000 and only the under-the-gun Mark Coffin and Dalton Smith in middle position made the call.

The 5 turn checked through, as did the K river. Coffin tabled the winner with 77 for two pair, sevens and fives, besting the A8 of Smith and J10 of the hijack.

Garrett Takes from Masters

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action picked up on the flop of 62K in a hand between Carl Masters in the cutoff and Nolan Garrett in the small blind.

With 10,000 in the middle, Garrett check-called a bet of 2,500 from Masters bringing the 4 turn where both players checked.

On the J river, Garrett bet 6,000 and Masters thought for a brief moment before giving up his hand.
