Just a few days ago, Gabriel Attoun took down the $300 One Day NLH Ring Event here at RunGood Poker Series Passport Season St. Louis stop, where he earned $8,164 and his first RGPS ring. Today, he followed up that victory with a career-best score of $83,141 in the $800 Main Event after a quick heads-up match with runner-up Bradley Young.
Hosted by Hollywood Casino St. Louis, the event drew 647 entries, which topped the 640 tallied the last time the RGPS was in town in April 2025 for the Mission RunGood Series. After four Day 1 starting flights, only 77 players returned for the final day of action, each already having locked up a piece of the $452,900 prize pool. Attoun entered Day 2 as the overall chip leader and carried his momentum all the way to the end.
When asked how he was feeling following the biggest win of his life, Attoun mentioned, "Feeling really great. There were a couple of points in this tournament where I was pretty much done and dusted, it seemed like, but ran really well starting with like four or five players left, through the end. It didn't really seem like I lost a hand thereafter, so feeling good, very fortunate to run really well."

When a Heater Collides with Experience
Attoun discussed what it meant to win two RGPS rings in the same week and whether entering Day 2 with a massive chip stack added any pressure to perform.
"I mean, nothing compares to winning, you know. I came and I played two tournaments this week and I won them both, so, how lucky can one guy be? Let's say that."
He continued, "Yeah, I mean, definitely. It would be disappointing to not final table for sure coming in as the chip leader. So, yeah, a little bit of extra pressure."
Attoun, one of the more decorated competitors at the final table, was asked whether his strategy shifted knowing he was one of the more experienced players remaining in the field.
"I feel like there was at least one other player at the final table who I was extremely impressed with his play, and I was lucky enough to be on his direct left. So, I felt like I had a pretty strong edge against everybody except for one guy. Once he was out, I was feeling pretty good about it."
Playing the Math and Catching a Break
A turning point at the final table took place when Attoun eliminated Matthew Koch in fifth, by hitting a two-outer to pad his stack as play became more short-handed. He explained that the math played a big part in his decision to call Koch's shove.
"I need 33 percent there. I didn't have it, had 20 percent, but, you know, 20 percent and a dream. So I got there, just ran really hot. I mean, a lot of times we're flipping there."
From there, Attoun leaned on his experience as play reached three- and four-handed, using timely aggression to take the chip lead. He went on to knock out Del Beiler in third, in a blind versus blind confrontation, to extend his lead as heads-up play began.
Attoun showed no signs of slowing down and made quick work of his formidable opponent in Young, ending the match in just a few hands to claim the money, the ring, and the glory.

Gabriel Attoun: K♥J♣
The flop came Q♥8♠A♥ with Attoun's king-jack still in the lead. Attoun paired his king on the K♦ turn, giving Young outs to a gutshot.

Jeremy Lass limped under the gun, Gabriel Attoun made it 700,000 to go in the cutoff, and Matthew Koch came over the top with an all in for 2,400,000 on the button to put himself at risk. Lass folded and Attoun took some time to think through his decison before making the call.
Matthew Koch: 10♣10♥
Gabriel Attoun: 3♠3♦
Koch was in great shape to double up until Attoun drilled a trey on the 5♣2♦3♣ flop. The K♣ turn and 7♥ river offered no help to Koch and his impressive tournament run came to an end in dramatic fashion.
