Last month in Tulsa, a total of 517 entrants blew the initial guarantee out of the water as 63 players saw a piece of the $361,900 prize pool in the 2025 RGPS Mission RunGood Tulsa Main Event.
Brian Craig came into the day sitting 15th place in chips and maintained a steady stack throughout the tournament. As the day continued, he found himself coming into the final table with the chip lead and after a couple of hours of play, he found himself sitting atop the counts as the last player standing.
“The money is great,” he said when asked about which part of winning sounds most appealing. The Kansas resident had been a regular on the RGPS circuit for some time, final tabling a $400 Deepstack Event at Council Bluffs just over a year ago. He sat with $75,789 in lifetime earnings before the start of day and nearly doubled it with this finish.
He also becomes the first player of the 2025 RGPS to win a free seat to the $300 Dream Seat Invitational which will occur in November of 2025.
