Robert Marquette moved his last 4,300 into the middle from under the gun, and Travis Horning followed my shoving his stack of 16,200 in middle position.

After confirming the count, Marc Lesitsky moved all in on the button. Jesse Waters checked his cards in the big blind, and announced a call covering all three opponents.

Robert Marquette: 55 All in
Travis Horning: JJ All in

Everyone missed the A3K43 runout, leaving Waters in front with his pocket queens. That sent three players to the rail, while Waters stacked up his new chips.

Flashback: Joshua Butler Ships RGPS Grand Prix Tunica Main Event

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Joshua Butler
Joshua Butler

Joshua Butler is quite familiar with collecting prize money and participating in winner’s interviews - but not when it comes to poker. The Alabama native is an accomplished professional bass fisherman who, until last week, had only competed in two other live tournaments in his life. He got his first taste of glory on the felt by defeating Hamid Izadi heads-up to take down the RunGood Poker Series Grand Prix Tunica Main Event, earning $49,282 and the coveted RGPS ring.

The two-day event featured a $600 buy-in and attracted 627 entries, with only 76 players returning to Horseshoe Tunica along the banks of the Mississippi River for the final day of action. Butler captured the lion’s share of the $326,040 prize pool, which crushed the $200,000 guarantee that was advertised.
