Jesse Jones capped off a $73,448 win in the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) St. Louis Main Event over the weekend, and now the mid-stakes poker tour will turn its focus to a popular destination six hours away.
Tulsa’s Hard Rock Hotel and Casino will play host to the next RGPS event Oct. 8-13, and the series includes a $100,000 guaranteed Main Event. The Oklahoma casino is a popular spot for RGPS regulars.
