Last Time in Reno
In May, the RGPS Reno $600 Main Event drew 291 runners and saw Billy Casey coming out on top for $29,092 and his first RunGood Ring after a heads-up deal with Andrew Fredericks.
“I feel like a winner,” the newest member of the RGPS champions club said with a big smile on his face. “All my grandkids have gotten my jewelry as they have grown up," he told PokerNews after his win.
Others who cashed the Main Event in May include Brittney Barnes, (8th - $4,200), Chris Wilcox (5th - $7,225) and Bret Toups (3rd - $15,375).
