Once the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) wraps up its Bay Area stop at Graton Casino, it will to Jack Cleveland Casino in Ohio for the very first RGPS Cleveland, which will feature the $800 buy-in RGPS Cleveland Main Event with a $250,000 guarantee.

The RGPS Cleveland stop, set to run Sept. 22-Oct. 2, will also feature over $500,000 in guarantees and a handful of side events that will see the winner's taking home Championship Rings, which were recently reintroduced by RGPS.

Three Starting Flights

The $250,000 guaranteed RGPS Main Event will consist of three starting flights, the first of which will get underway on Sept. 29. After Day 1b on Sept. 30 and Day 1c on Oct. 1, Day 2 will take place on Oct. 2. and play down to a winner, who will get the bulk of the guaranteed prize pool and take home the RGPS trophy.

In exchange for their $800 buy-in, players will get a starting stack of 30,000 chips with blind levels starting at 100/200/200.

For players who don't want to stake up the $800 entry fee, there will be a number of satellite opportunities at the RGPS stop, including $105 Main Event Super Satellites where one in ten players win a seat into the Main Event, as well as $185 Mega Satellites where one in five players win a seat.

$500,000 in Guarantees

RGPS Cleveland will kick off of Sept. 22 with a $420 buy-in Opener Ring Event, an event with three starting flights and a $100,000 guarantee.

Day 2 of the Opener Ring Event will play down to a winner on Sept. 25, the same day as a $300 One-Day Ring Event with a $25,000 guarantee and a $300 8-Handed Pot-Limit Omaha Ring Event with a $10,000 guarantee.

Other highlights of RGPS Cleveland include a $250 PokerGo Studio Ticket Ring Event with a $50,000 that will award a ticket to 2022 All-Stars ProAM Event at the PokerGO Studio in December.
