Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln, California, is putting together the final preparations for the RunGood Passport Season Finale, which runs from July 13 to August 3.
The bustling schedule boasts 20 ring-awarding events over 22 days, more than $2.3 million in guarantees, including $1 million in the PokerNews-reported Main Event, a $500,000-guaranteed Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship, the $250,000-guaranteed PokerNews Cup, and a trio of events with six-figure guarantees on their prize pools.
RGPS Passport Season Thunder Valley bursts into action on July 13 with the first of six $120 buy-in satellites that award $500 RunGood Package Satellite tickets, which run on July 15. That $500 satellite sees 1 in 5 entrants win a $2,200 package, with 10 such packages guaranteed. Those packages consist of:
$1,200 Million Dollar Main Event entry
$600 Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship entry
$400 PokerNews Cup entry
From there, the ring-awarding events are nonstop all the way through to August 3.
