Derrick Plumage Looks Back on Historic Back-to-Back RGPS Main Event Victories
Back in 2022, Derrick Plumage became the first back-to-back RGPS Main Event Champion, earning himself over $100,000 over the course of just a few months. He caught up with PokerNews to reflect on his unbelievable run and what it meant to him.
"It's the highlight of my poker career. It was the funnest dang thing ever. The feeling you get just walking into that poker room is so cool. It's an ego thing, but that's part of tournament poker, is to be that guy. And in that room I get to walk in and I get to be that guy. So it's really sweet."
"The interesting thing is the other guy that did it is also named Derrick, spelled the same way, which is an uncommon spelling of Derrick, seven letters. I'm gonna call him out right now on the record. We need to have a Derrick-off at some point. I've never met him. I would like to."
Plumage is referring to Derrick Yamada, who defended his RGPS Dan Diego title for $41,550 in February of 2024.
