The RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Grand Prix Tunica is in full swing at the prestigious Horseshoe Tunica Casino & Hotel, and after the completion of the initial starting flights, the field for the $600 Main Event is beginning to take shape.
The tournament has attracted a robust field of players from across the region, all vying for the coveted RGPS title and a substantial first-place prize.
As the dust settled on the Day 1b and 1c flights, Teresa Lammie and Keith McKuin distinguished themselves from the competition, bagging the largest stacks to emerge as the respective chip leaders heading into the next stage of the tournament.
Lammie’s impressive performance on Day 1b saw her accumulate a formidable chip count, setting a high bar for the subsequent flight. Not to be outdone, Keith McKuin navigated the Day 1c field with skill and precision, concluding the night with an equally commanding stack.
Their strong starts position them favorably as all surviving players from the various starting flights prepare to merge into a single field for Day 2.
The RunGood Poker Series has built a strong reputation on the mid-major circuit for its well-structured events and lively atmosphere, and the Tunica stop has continued this tradition.
With the initial flights now in the books, the intensity is set to escalate significantly. The journey to the final table is still long and arduous, but for now, Lammie and McKuin have the advantage of momentum and chip pressure on their side.
The poker community will be watching closely as Day 2 unfolds to see if these early frontrunners can maintain their dominance or if new contenders will rise from the pack to challenge for the championship title.
The stage is set for a thrilling conclusion to one of the premier events on the RGPS calendar.
