Nick Rigby produced one of the standout runs of the week by winning three tournaments in roughly 24 hours at the RunGood Poker Series Passport stop at Hollywood Casino St. Louis. 

The festival ran from March 3 to March 8 and featured 10 ring events across six days, giving players a packed mid-stakes schedule and plenty of volume for those willing to stay in the mix. 

Rigby’s heater included victory in the $400 PokerNews PowerStack, one of the headline events on the St. Louis schedule. 

That tournament carried a listed $50,000 guarantee and ran with multiple starting flights before playing down to a final day on March 5. It was one of the centrepiece events of the stop, sitting alongside the $800 Main Event and several one-day ring tournaments. 

He followed that up on March 6 by winning the $500 PLO Ring Event. Official RunGood results show the tournament drew 93 entries, built a $39,060 prize pool, and paid Rigby $11,719 for first place. Christopher Audrain finished runner-up for $7,031, with Michael Hahn taking third for $4,687. 

Later the same day, Rigby added another title in the $200 Turbo NLH Ring Event. RunGood lists that event with 121 entries, a $19,360 prize pool, and a $5,044 top prize for Rigby. 

Tyler Breedioy finished second for $3,368, while James Giddon rounded out the top three with $2,377. 
Tournament information


For UK readers, the broader point is that this was not a single deep run in one marquee tournament. It was a burst of results across different formats and structures inside the same series, which says as much about stamina and decision-making as it does about card distribution. 

Winning one event at a live stop is hard enough. Winning three inside a day at a festival built around ring events, quick turnarounds and heavy table hours is the kind of run that gets noticed well beyond the venue.

Rigby is already a familiar figure to many fans because of his table presence and memorable WSOP moments - specially the Dirty Diaper bluff, but this St. Louis stretch adds a more straightforward tournament story to the file: volume, momentum and results. 

For grassroots players following the live circuit, it is a strong reminder that mid-stakes festival schedules can still produce the kind of heater that reshapes an entire week.
