      <description>&lt;p&gt;After 13 hours of play, the returning tournament field of 83 was reduced to a single player in the 2024 RGPS RunGood Resort Tunica Main Event. Each one guaranteed a piece of the $342,210 prize pool, but all with their eyes up top. The field possessed many known names, RunGood regulars, and tournament legends from many different tours, but today was a day for just one man.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Prior to today, Jason Grimes had just $25,592 in lifetime earnings. At a final table with millions of dollars in earnings split between multiple players, it would be Grimes who would triple his lifetime earnings with his new high score of $52,102. “I’m going to do something stupid like pay off debt,” the new champion joked about what he was to do with his new winnings. “Straight into the bank with it.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>
