The RunGood Poker Series has made it’s way to Reno, NV for the first time this week for the inaugural RunGood Poker Series Checkpoint at Atlantis Casino. The action has been flying all week long and building up to the $600 RunGood Series Checkpoint Main Event which gets underway tonight at 6 p.m. local time.
The Main Event has three starting flights with, Day 1a being tonight at 6 p.m. pacific time. Day 1b will be Saturday May 6 at 11 a.m. and the final starting flight will be Day 1c at 6 p.m. Saturday night.
The series here in Reno has already had several events complete, with multiple players taking home a RunGood Series ring. A couple of those include; Harley Brooks who won Event #6: $250 Double Green Chip Bounty for $2,945 and Joseph Mussat who achieved his ring by winning Event #4: $250 DeepStack No-Limit Hold’em for $10,213 after beating a nice field of 202 runners.
The structure for the Main Event is the same across the three starting flights. The $600 buy-in will give each player a 30,000 starting stack. Levels are 30 minutes on Day 1 and registration will remain open until the start of Level 9 (~10:30 p.m.). There will be 15-minute breaks every four levels of play. Day 1 will finish once 12.5% of the field is reached, which is where all the surviving players will be in the money and advance on to Day 2 which will be on Sunday May 7 at 12 noon.
PokerNews will keep you updated throughout the entire Main Event and also look back at some of the other events that have happened in this RunGood Series right here in Reno.
