Current Champion Phan Looking to Retain Title; Seale Looking for Redemption
Nam Phan, the 2019 RGPS Kansas City Main Event champion has been spotted in the field with a healthy stack of 57,000.
Meanwhile, at the adjacent table, Jacob Seale is also in the mix with a stack of 26,000. Seale was the runner-up to Phan in 2019 after the two agreed to a chop and played for an additional $5,000 and the RGPS ring.
Phan secured the win when the two got it all in with Seale holding ace-king against Phan's pocket deuces. Phan ended up flopping a set and managed to fade a flush draw on the river to take down the first-place prize of $42,428.
With the way things are looking for this series, that prize money will be more than doubled for this event so both players will have to bring their A-game if they want to be crowned champion.
