Flashback: Billy Casey Claims Destination RunGood Reno Main Event Title
Level 15
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Back in April, the Destination RunGood Reno $600 Main Event at Atlantis Resort saw just 33 players return to play for the final day of action. As the dust settled, it was Billy Casey who ended up as the newest RGPS Main Event champion, taking home $29,092 for his efforts and his very first ring.
“I feel like a winner,” the latest member of the RGPS champions club said with a big smile on his face. “All my grandkids have gotten my jewelry as they have grown up,” he continued, emphasizing why winning this was special for him.
Casey also secured an invitation to the Dream Seat Invitational at Thunder Valley in November, a trip he is very happy to make. “You’ll see me there, you can count on that.”
