The RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Passport Season rolls into Northern California with a marquee stop at Graton Resort & Casino, running March 5–15. The Bay Area stop promises deep stacks, big fields, and one of the most robust schedules of the 2026 Passport Season.

Across 11 days of action, players will compete in 20 Ring Events featuring over $500K in guarantees, highlighted by a $300,000 GTD Main Event and a $200,000 GTD PokerNews PowerStack.

$1,100 Main Event ($300,000 GTD)

Headlining the Graton series is the $1,100 buy-in Main Event, boasting a $300,000 guaranteed prize pool and four starting flights starting on Friday March 13, leading into a final day of play on Sunday.

Main Event Schedule

With a strong poker community in the Western U.S. and deep structures, this Main Event is expected to draw one of the largest fields of the Passport Season.

$400 PokerNews PowerStack ($200,000 GTD)

Also anchoring the schedule is the $400 PokerNews PowerStack Ring Event, carrying a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool and five starting flights. The PowerStack has quickly become a must-play for Passport Season participants thanks to its deep stack formats and high value.
