Usually, when travel plans fall through, it’s bad news. But for Nicholas Burris last October, the cancellation turned into a blessing worth $65,435.
The RunGood Poker Series Grand Prix Tulsa $800 Main Event champion decided to head to the Hard Rock Hotel And Casino Tulsa after a friend reminded him of the tournament. It proved a wise call, as Burris topped a field of 469 entries to claim the title and a share of the $328,300 prize pool.
