After several years and dozens of events at venues around the country, it's time for RunGood Poker Series to go where it's never gone before: online.
Adjusting to the COVID-19 pandemic that has put a kibosh on live poker tournaments, the RunGood team has organized a special online freeroll taking place tonight on the Faded Spade card club platform. The RunGood Poker Series All-Stars Online will take this year's RunGood theme to the virtual felt and give 360 players who beat their peers to the sign-up window the chance to win some prizes with nary an investment but their time and effort.
One lucky player tonight will win a seat in a livestreamed PokerGO event taking place later this year — tentatively scheduled — in Las Vegas. A RunGood series ring will always be awarded to the victor.
Aside from that big winner, everyone has a shot at six random prizes available for selected knockouts of bounties in the event. Those who eliminate RunGood founder Tana Karn, Jamie Kerstetter, Joe Ingram, PokerNews' own Sarah Herring, "Boston" Rob Mariano of "Survivor" fame and Faded Spade founder Tom Wheaton will get their hands on one of the following prizes:
- RunGood store credit (2x)
- VIP Game Night ticket
- Hat signed by Boston Rob
- iPad
- PlayStation 4
Bounty winners also get a deck of Faded Spade playing cards, and final table participants get special swag packs.
Cards begin flying at 9 p.m. EDT, so tune in to PokerNews to see how the special RunGood event plays out.
