RGPS Jamul Main Event Day 1a Kicks off at 6 p.m.!
The next RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) champion will be crowned this weekend as the RGPS Jamul Casino Main Event in San Diego is about to get underway. The $600 buy-in tournament kicks off today at 6 p.m. local time with Day 1a.
This Main Event has a guaranteed prize pool of $150,000 and is expected to surpass that as players have three starting flights to choose from. Day 1b will commence on Saturday, November 18 at 11 a.m., while Day 1c will get underway later that evening at 6 p.m.
Players will begin with a stack of 30,000 chips and blind levels of 100/200/200. Blind levels will last for 30 minutes during Day 1 and will increase to 45 minutes on Day 2. The tournament allows for unlimited re-entry up until the start of Level 9.
Play will continue until 12.5 % of the field remains, at which point the players will be in the money and will bag up to return for Day 2.
The eventual winner will earn the lion’s share of the prize pool, as well as an exclusive invitation and travel package to the Dream Seat invitational at Thunder Valley in two weeks.
A handful of RunGood ambassadors will be taking their shot in this tournament, including David Tuchman, Caitlin Comeskey, Nikki Limo, Daniel Hughes, and Taylor Howard.
