Hanunyah Fish (1,002,000) walks into the room as the overall chip leader heading into the championship day of play. Fish is the only player to have a seven-figure stack after the four opening flights. She already has one RunGood ring to her name after winning her first ring last year at RGPS Grand Prix Tulsa in the $400 Black Chip Bounty event. Fish has been active this year with six cashes at RunGood events around the country. Fish finished in 22nd place at the RGPS Passport Downstream Main Event as she looks to close the deal today.
Eric Bunch (804,000) returns as the second in chips heading into the final day after a strong Day 1c performance vaulted him to the top of the chip counts. Bunch is aiming to capture his second RunGood Main Event title in Tulsa. Bunch achieved the feat back in 2024 when he won the RGPS Resort Oklahoma $800 Main Event. Bunch is a well-accomplished pro with over $2.1 million in career earnings to his name on his The Hendon Mob profile. Bunch has four RGPS rings to his name, and Sunday will give him the opportunity to add a fifth to his cabinet.
Daniel Hughes (523,000) has been a mainstay on the RunGood tour, accumulating 10 titles to his name, which puts him fifth all-time in the RunGood rankings. Hughes reached Day 2 after a chip-leading Day 1a. The RunGood veteran will look to add to his career earnings of over $190,000. With a high enough finish, Hughes can cross the benchmark of $200,000 in earnings at RunGood stops.
RGPS Ambassadors Grant Hinkle (184,000), Christina Lofquist (342,000) and Drew “BetOnDrew” Gonzalez (172,000) are all still in the running for an RGPS main event title.
Hinkle has two RGPS rings to his name, including a main event title at RGPS Joplin in 2018. Hinkle has also won big in Tulsa when he took down the 2025 Oklahoma State Poker Championship as he aims to make it two in Tulsa.
Lofquist won an RGPS title this year as she has the opportunity to make it two titles in one calendar year.
Gonzalez is still in the hunt for his first RunGood title as he returns to the felt on Day 2. Gonzalez is not short on experience as he has over $550,000 in live career earnings per his The Hendon Mob page.
Hinkle and Bunch aren’t the only players who have won in Tulsa. Nicholas Burris (292,000) is only one year removed from winning this same event last year at the RGPS Grand Prix Tulsa Main Event. Burris has two RunGood main event titles to his name as he looks to add an impressive third main event entry to his resume. Todd Tucker (55,000) is also a former Tulsa champion when he won RunGood gold at the RGPS Destination RunGood Main Event.
WSOP bracelet winners Brent Gregory and Travis Baker are also in the mix.
Gregory has four RGPS rings, but is still searching for his first main event title at a RunGood event that includes over $1 million in live career earnings, according to The Hendon Mob.
Baker’s The Hendon Mob profile boasts over $715,000 in live career earnings, but he has yet to win a RunGood ring during that time. That can all change with a title run today.
Duster Ellis (109,000) won his second RGPS ring earlier this series when he won the $250 Series Opener. Ellis looks to add a third title to his name when he steps into the Hard Rock Tulsa on Day 2. Ellis is a regular on the RGPS tour with over $100,000 in cashes at RunGood events.
Day 2 will play until a champion is crowned. Blinds are scheduled for 40 minutes on Day 2, with 15-minute breaks slotted to take place after every three levels. The tournament will resume at Level 13 with the blinds at 3,000/5,000.
