To receive an invite, all you need to do is win any RGPS Showbound side event or final table any Main Event. “Showbound Powered by PokerGO” will encourage tournament participants at all tour stops to dress to impress and walk the crimson carpet on their way to the poker table.

This stop marks the third-to-last chance players have to qualify. The penultimate stop will take place April 23-28 at Harrah’s North Kansas City, while the final stop will be April 30-May 5 at Hard Rock Tulsa in Oklahoma.
