RGPS bestbet Jacksonville Main Event Will Have $300,000 Up for Grabs
Table Of Contents
Following two successful Checkpoint stops earlier this month in Tunica and the Bay Area, the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) is headed to Florida for RGPS bestbet Jacksonville, which will take place March 23-April 2 and will culminate with the $1,200 buy-in Main Event with a $300,000 guarantee.
It's been a busy month for the RGPS family, to say the least. The team walked away with the Best Mid-Major Tour/Circuit award at the Global Poker Awards for the third time and Hayley Hochstetler also received the award for Media Content: Best Photo for her work for PokerNews at the 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
In addition to the two-day Main Event, which PokerNews will be on-site providing live updates for, RGPS bestbet Jacksonville will feature several No-Limit Hold'em and mixed game events that will leave the winners walking away from an RGPS Ring.
The series at @bestbet_jax starts in less than two weeks! Featuring a $100,000 GTD Opening Event and a $300,000 GTD… https://t.co/rXiB547wGp

Bounty and Mixed Game Action
The RGPS bestbet Jacksonville stop will kick off with the $400 RunGood Series Opener, which offers a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool and offers six starting flights. Day 2 of the Series Opener will be live-streamed on bestbet LIVE on Twitch and YouTube.
After that, the $400 Black Chip Bounty will get underway, followed by a $300 One Day NLH Ring Event and a $200 Ambassador Bounty Ring Event, which will also be streamed on bestbet LIVE. Special guests will be holding bounty envelopes with prizes that range between $1,000 in cash and RunGood Apparel store credit.
There are also a few mixed game events on the schedule, including a $300 Big O Hi/Lo Ring Event and a $300 H.E.R.O.S Ring Event, which will feature Hold'em, Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, Razz and regular Omaha.
The $300,000 guaranteed Main Event will get underway on March 30 with the first of three starting flights. Day 2 of the Main Event will take place on April 2 and the action will be streamed on bestbet Live.
There are several satellites into the Main Event allowing players to win a seat for as little as $300.
Who Will Be the Next RGPS Main Event Winner?
