On a heads-up turn board reading 8♥7♠10♠A♥, the pot already had over 25,000 in it when Micah Logan moved all in for around 45,000.
After some thought, his opponent made the call for less and the cards were tabled.
Opponent: J♥10♣
Logan: Q♣10♥
Logan was surprised to see that he actually held the best hand, and the river K♠ kept it that way to award him the huge pot while his opponent hit the rail.

Earlier this month, Jason Grimes navigated his way through a field of 671 entries to take down the 2024 RGPS RunGood Resort Tunica Main Event for $52,102. Grimes outlasted a final table full of poker veterans to triple his lifetime career poker earnings.
“I am flabbergasted; I have always wanted to win something, and to win a RunGood ring is something special. The main event? It’s just insane,” Grimes said, beaming with joy while trying on the ring. As far as the Dream Seat Invitational goes, Grimes said that will have to wait until a different time but he hopes to capitalize on using the free seat. “I love free stuff, so we will see.”
