After a few brief announcements, the cards are in the air for the first event of Run It Up! Reno.
2015 Run It Up Reno
Level: 1
Blinds: 50/100
Ante: 0
Not only will players have plenty of chances to win tournament prize pool cash from the events held here at Run It Up! Reno, but as part of his hosting duties Jason Somerville is throwing $565 into the pot of each trophy event leading up to the Main Event in the form of a last longer. The $565 prize will be awarded to the player that lasts the longest in a trophy event that is wearing Run It Up! gear. The cutoff for sporting the gear will be when the money is reached, so players won't be able to finagle any last-minute wardrobe changes.
Welcome to the opening event of the 2015 Run It Up! Reno poker series live from the Peppermill Reno. The kickoff event is the $125 Tuesday Takeoff No-Limit Hold'em Turbo that comes complete with $2,000 in added money to the prize pool. Players will begin with 10,000 in tournament chips, blind levels will begin at 50/100, and each level will last 15 minutes. There's no dinner break, but a 10-minute break every eight levels.
Reentries will be allowed through the first seven levels, so expect lots and early gambling as the players look to grab ahold of big stacks.
Run It Up! Reno boasts more than just a few poker tournaments, too. Each day will be chalk full of planned activities, including poker seminars hosted by Jason Somerville, morning workouts led by UFC fighters, and cash game hangouts, and more.
The biggest feature of the series will be the $565 Main Event boasting a $100,000 guarantee, starting on Friday, Oct. 23. The Main Event will feature two starting days, but Day 1b will be a turbo that takes place starting at 8:30 a.m. with 15-minute levels. Players will be allowed to enter until the first hand is dealt on Day 2, and we expect plenty of people to fire away.
