Chris Christian takes second place in the $165 RG Series Closer Ring Event, locking in his title as Casino Champion and securing his ticket to the All-Stars ProAm Event presented by PokerGO in December 2020!
Christian was heads-up in the Series Closer Event when he moved all in on the turn with bottom two pair, while his opponent held one pair with a gut-shot straight draw. The unfortunate river paired the board to counterfeit Christian's two pair and leave him with just a few blinds behind. While a few hands later he would take second place, the second place money was enough to be the tiebreaker to determine who would clinch the title of Casino Champion for Horseshoe Iowa.
