After a week of poker tournaments at The Horseshoe Casino in Council Bluffs, Iowa, The RunGood Poker Series sees its largest event of the series begin tonight at 6 pm with Day 1a of The $700 Main Event. Boasting the biggest guarantee of the series with $200,000 (doubled from last year), the main event looks to draw a larger crowd than all the events preceding it, with all parties involved looking to add some RGPS hardware to their trophy case.

Looking to defend their title from last year is Nebraska local Cody Bartlett who bested a field of 546 players to take down the grand prize of $63,303.

His road will not be easy, as plenty of accomplished and dangerous players saw success this week and have their eyes on the ring in the tournament with the biggest purse. RGPS legends Duster Ellis, Taylor Howard, and GPI Award Winner Caitlin Comeskey have all been in the mix this week, looking for a piece of jewelry to add to their illustrious resumes. RGPS Ambassador Ben Ludlow has also already won a ring this week, as he and Sarah Stefan took down the tag team event last night! And of course, Brian Winter, aka ‘Golden Blazer’, is also looking to pad his RGPS PoY lead with another deep run.

Players will start out with 30,000, with blinds beginning at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. The levels will last 30 minutes, with a 15-minute break occurring after every four levels. Registration will close at the beginning of level 9. After that, the breaks will occur after every three levels, with the flight ending once the field has been brought down to 12.5%. This is an unlimited re-entry format, so all players will be able to exercise their rights for re-entry in the first 8 levels of the tournament. Those who do not find bags in the first flight will be able to play the two flights occurring tomorrow.
