Jimmy Cappucci is a Run It Up Reno beast! Last night he captured his record sixth RIU Reno title, twice as many as his closest competition (Andrew Cha and Jason Daniele both have three titles).

Cappucci's latest win came when he topped an 82-entry field to win the RIU Reno VIII $125 6-Max N.O.R.S.E. That tournament surpassed its $5,000 guarantee by creating a $7,954 prize pool paid out to the top 13 places.

Among those to get a piece of it were Mini Main Event champ John Boriolo (11th - $200), Eric "Goldy" Goldstein (8th - $320), and Joe Brandenburg (3rd - $945), just to name a few.

In the end, Cappucci defeated Paul Holden in heads-up play with the final hand being in a round of Stud Hi-Lo.
