Jesse Jones capped off a $73,448 win in the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) St. Louis Main Event over the weekend, and now the mid-stakes poker tour will turn its focus to a popular destination six hours away.
Tulsa's Hard Rock Hotel and Casino will play host to the next RGPS event Oct. 8-13, and the series includes a $100,000 guaranteed Main Event. The Oklahoma casino is a popular spot for RGPS regulars.
Todd Tucker took down the RGPS Tulsa Main Event back in January for $73,242, beating out 558 entries in the $800 buy-in no-limit hold'em tournament.
The upcoming Hard Rock poker schedule includes 10 ring events and 10 opportunities for tournament players to walk away with some big bucks. Action begins on Oct. 8 at 10 a.m. with the $250 Seniors Event, a no-limit hold'em contest for the 50+ crowd.
Two other tournaments — $200 Ambassador Bounty and $100 Flip and Go — will take place on the opening day of the series. The Flip and Go will run on-demand for three consecutive days before those who are still standing return to action for the final day on Oct. 11. Tables will fill for every starting flight on-demand throughout the day.
The $800 buy-in Main Event, which promises at least $100,000 in the pot, kicks off Oct. 11 with the first Day 1 starting flight at 6 p.m. Day 1b takes place at 11 a.m. the following day, and Day 1c will start at 6 p.m. that evening. Those who still have chips at the end of any of the Day 1 sessions will return to the Hard Rock at noon on Oct. 13 to play it down to a winner.
Turbo satellites to the Main Event, which cost $185 to enter, will run at 3 p.m. on Oct. 11 and 12 right before the evening flight.
Players interested in staying at the casino can get an exclusive RunGood Poker Series room rate of $169 per night by using group code 0710RunGoo.
