Flashback: Carl Masters Claims Victory in $600 RGPS Tunica Main Event
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
It took just over 12 hours on Day 2 of the 2025 RunGood Poker Series Grand Prix Tunica II to wrap up last fall, but it was all worth it for Carl Masters.
Masters put on a poker clinic at the final table en route to winning his third RGPS ring in the $600 Main Event at Horseshoe Casino Tunica.
It was one of the largest turnouts on tour as Masters overcame a field of 645 entries, which crushed the $200,000 guaranteed prize pool. For his victory, Masters pocketed $60,251 after overcoming a hard-fought heads-up battle with Rafael Lopez.
