Jason Somerville’s RIU Reno IX Returns to the Peppermill Oct. 11-21; Andy Milonakis to Attend
Table Of Contents
From October 11-21, Jason Somerville and his team will head back to the Peppermill Resort and Spa in Reno, Nevada for the ninth edition of the popular Run It Up Reno. We’ll also be sending along the PokerNews Live Reporting Team to bring you 11 days’ worth of fun poker action.
Among those slated to attend are Team RIU’s Ricky “RatedGTO” Guan, Arlie Shaban, Andrew Neeme, and Kevin Martin, who recently retired his Twitch stream. In addition, popular Vlogger Johnnie “Johnnievibes” Moreno will be there, as will first-time RIU Reno visitor Andy Milonakis.
Milonakis, who streams on Twitch, is a rapper and comedian best known for creating and starring in The Andy Milonakis Show on MTV and MTV2.
Once again, RIU Reno will host a “Survivor Watch Party,” which is especially intriguing this season as it’s been confirmed poker pro Ronnie Bardah will be on the 39th season of the hit television show. Rumor has it Bardah may even make an appearance at RIU Reno.
As always, RIU Reno will live stream a full slate of tournaments. The bolded tournaments in the schedule below indicate those events that will be live streamed on RunItUp.tv.
