Bruce Vang calls Minnesota home and doesn’t come to Oklahoma with the express motivation to play poker, but rather to relax and enjoy some time away from home. Despite that, he hasn’t been shy about firing at events when they happen to line up with his visit.
This course of events is what happened a few days ago when Vang opted to enter the $300 Seniors event at the RunGood Poker Series Golden Expedition Hard Rock Tulsa. The decision was a good one as Vang scored his first RunGood ring. He outlasted 145 entries and took down the top prize of $8,627.
“Winning the seniors made me feel like I’m coming back slowly,” said Vang. “It gave me the chance to chase the big dance. Hopefully this is the start of planning for the WSOP.”
Vang shared with PokerNews that he’s been playing poker for over 30 years. Vang considers himself more of a cash game player, but takes his shot at tournaments with regularity.
Although Vang describes himself as a cash game player, his tournament results are not bereft of cashes, as he has racked up over $100,000 in live career earnings according to his The Hendon Mob page.
He credits his ongoing process of improving as a player for winning his first RunGood ring and feels like he’s found a wavelength that works for him as far as his game.
“Throughout the years in my experience playing, I’ve been changing my play often,” said Vang. “I started realizing I found something I’m comfortable with, and I want to see where this goes.”
Vang described his Day 1a session here at the RGPS Golden Expedition $800 Main Event as “up and down.”
He currently sits with about 41,000 as he aims to make it two rings in on week here at the Hard Rock Tulsa.
