Hamid Izadi did not originally plan to come to Reno for the RunGood Poker Series $800 Main Event, but a friend and RGPS regular Christina Lofquist convinced him to make the detour.
It turned out to be a $39,550 decision, as Izadi carried his Day 2 chip lead all the way to the title, capturing the RGPS ring at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa.
"I'm glad. I'm going to take care of Christina (Lofquist) and my friends with a nice dinner for everyone," Izadi said in the afterglow of his victory.
Izadi is a nine-time WSOP Circuit ring winner, but until now he had been unable to secure an RGPS title despite several final table appearances. That drought ended at RGPS Passport Reno, as he finally added his first RGPS ring to his trophy case.
