Winneker on the Hunt for Second RGPS Ring
One of the notable faces at the RGPS Golden Expedition Dallas series is Carson Winneker, a relative newcomer to the tournament scene who has already made a mark in his hometown.
"I've been playing for about ten years," Winneker told PokerNews on a break in the Main Event action. "I really started taking it seriously when I was in college, so I've just been trying to play cash games ever since then. But last year I had a really good year firing tournaments. It's just been a lot of fun to participate in the tournament scene."
Winneker has posted some impressive results in that time, including his first RGPS ring at the last Palace Poker stop in the spring.
"I was here around March when [RunGood] came through the first time, and I actually won a tag team ring with a good buddy of mine. And so it was a lot of fun, and they're bringing the same energy here. It's a really fun series and I'll definitely come back each time they do it. It's great energy here."
Though he was not able to run deep in this week's Main Event, Winneker enjoys playing at this impressive venue and intends to consider finding other RunGood Poker Series stops to visit.
"I've been coming here more because I really like the atmosphere of the room. It's a lot more fun and yeah, it's nice. I'm not a big traveler, but I mean it has made me think about it."
