Flashback: Home Crowd Support Fuels Cody Stanford to Victory in Mission RunGood Tunica Main Event
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Back in March at Horseshoe Tunica, RunGood Poker Series Ambassador Cody Stanford clinched his eighth RGPS ring. After nearly 12 hours of play on the final day, he emerged victorious in the $600 Main Event, defeating Michael Johns in heads-up play.
Along with the coveted RGPS ring, Stanford took home the top prize of $53,988 after outlasting a field of 546 entrants, which generated a $278,460 prize pool.
After his win, Stanford reflected on the moment, saying, "It always feels great to win any poker tournament, especially a Main Event, but to do it with my wife and friends here, at my home casino, it means a lot.'"
