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.
