"We are excited to see the turn out in a couple of weeks for those chasing the RunGood Cup," said Byron Long, Poker Director for Hard Rock Tulsa. "We just got the trophy in our room today and it’s huge. This partnership has been a great success for us here at Hard Rock."

In regard to the aforementioned packages, the tour has teamed up with vacation experts, Blaycation, to create $2,000 packages to December's Championship Event. Those fortunate enough to win a package will be treated to $300 Travel Cash, a three-night hotel stay in New Orleans, one Main Event Championship Seat, two tickets to a private Champions Dinner, two tickets to the Pelicans vs. Wizards NBA game, and two tickets to a VIP Ghost/Pub Crawl Tour.

Speaking of the championship event, that will take place from December 10-13 with a $675 buy-in, $100,000 guaranteed Championship Event at Harrah’s New Orleans. The tournament, which will be open to the public, will feature Flight A starting Thursday, December 10th at 12:00 p.m., which will be followed by Flights B and C at the same time on Friday and Saturday respectively.
