New member, first title, chip lead in a 6-way deal—Kasey starts off strong at RGPS Council Bluffs!
Kasey Fingarson didn’t waste any time making his presence known. As one of the newest members of our coaching community this year, Kasey came in hungry to learn and even hungrier to win. That’s exactly what he did.
In Event #4: $400 No-Limit Hold’em at the RunGood Poker Series in Council Bluffs, Kasey battled through a tough field. He walked away with $12,500, a RunGood ring, and his first-ever live tournament title. The event ended in a 6-way ICM chop. However, with the chip lead in hand, Kasey locked up the official win. That kind of composure and performance at the final table? It’s exactly what we love to see.
Turning Study Into Results
Kasey came into the program ready to absorb every bit of knowledge he could. He studied hard, asked questions, and built a strong foundation in both technical skills and live dynamics. So, when it was time to sit down at the table, he didn’t hesitate—he executed. Whether it was managing mid-stage aggression or navigating ICM pressure, Kasey trusted the process. As a result, the results speak for themselves.
Kasey is a manufacturing engineer by trade who decided to take the summer off to play WSOP events while exploring his next career opportunity. With time to fully commit to the game, he dove headfirst into preparation, and it paid off.
In fact, according to Kasey, the entire WSOP Prep series was the most helpful, offering a comprehensive resource that spans a wide range of topics and skill levels. If he had to narrow it down, he pointed to two standout videos:
- “Common Mistakes – Leakfinder” – A foundational video for identifying leaks and learning to approach every spot with critical thinking.
- “How to Document Poker Hands” – A key tool in learning how to properly capture, review, and learn from live and online hands.
Just the Beginning
Moreover, this isn’t just a lucky run—it’s a launchpad. Kasey’s performance at Council Bluffs shows what’s possible when the groundwork is solid. His preparation gave him the tools to stay calm, apply pressure, and make smart decisions when it mattered most. That’s not luck—that’s a player stepping into his potential. For players like Kasey, who are committed to growth, one breakout score is rarely the end. Instead, it opens the floodgates. Confidence builds with each deep run. The game slows down. Edges widen. You start seeing spots others miss, and you’re not afraid to pull the trigger.
Above all, Kasey now moves forward with momentum, a proven process, and a win under his belt. That combination is dangerous, and we can’t wait to see what’s next. From first-time live grinder to RunGood ring winner, his story is just getting started. And if you’re serious about building a story like his, we’re here to help you write the first chapter.
