Welcome to Run It Up! Reno
Welcome to the opening event of the 2015 Run It Up! Reno poker series live from the Peppermill Reno. The kickoff event is the $125 Tuesday Takeoff No-Limit Hold'em Turbo that comes complete with $2,000 in added money to the prize pool. Players will begin with 10,000 in tournament chips, blind levels will begin at 50/100, and each level will last 15 minutes. There's no dinner break, but a 10-minute break every eight levels.
Reentries will be allowed through the first seven levels, so expect lots and early gambling as the players look to grab ahold of big stacks.
Run It Up! Reno boasts more than just a few poker tournaments, too. Each day will be chalk full of planned activities, including poker seminars hosted by Jason Somerville, morning workouts led by UFC fighters, and cash game hangouts, and more.
The biggest feature of the series will be the $565 Main Event boasting a $100,000 guarantee, starting on Friday, Oct. 23. The Main Event will feature two starting days, but Day 1b will be a turbo that takes place starting at 8:30 a.m. with 15-minute levels. Players will be allowed to enter until the first hand is dealt on Day 2, and we expect plenty of people to fire away.

The Run It Up! Last Longer
Not only will players have plenty of chances to win tournament prize pool cash from the events held here at Run It Up! Reno, but as part of his hosting duties Jason Somerville is throwing $565 into the pot of each trophy event leading up to the Main Event in the form of a last longer. The $565 prize will be awarded to the player that lasts the longest in a trophy event that is wearing Run It Up! gear. The cutoff for sporting the gear will be when the money is reached, so players won't be able to finagle any last-minute wardrobe changes.

Cheers All Around as Jason Kicks Things Off
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
"What's up everybody?" Jason Somerville yelled into the microphone right before the start of the first event.
The crowd, mostly dressed in Run it Up hoodies, t-shirts and hats, let out a huge round of applause for Somerville, who explained all the things in store for us this week.
Every trophy event this week will have a last-longer for people wearing Run it Up gear in every way possible, but 'registration' will close once we're in the money.
"So no grabbing a hat once you're down to the final four," Somerville joked, as the crowd burst out in laughter.
Somerville is putting the winner of every last longer into the $100,000 guaranteed Main Event worth $565, and that means there's a lot more at stake than just the trophy!
Last but not least Somerville has added $1,000 of his own money to the prize pool, and Peppermill Reno has matched that with another $1,000, to make sure
"This is What I Came Here For!"
Level 2
: 75/150, 25 ante
Jason Somerville, who jumped into the action after doing the announcements at the start, has gotten an amazing response from all the players who gathered here today, and he himself is stoked about the turnout of this event already.
"This is amazing, to get over 100 players for the opening event on a Tuesday afternoon," Somerville said, as he was the 103rd player to register.
We followed Somerville to his table, and it was clear that everyone was excited to get a chance to play against him.
"You're playing with us?" the lady at Table 24 said with a sigh of excitement and fear, as Jason Somerville took his seat in the opening event.
"Rigged!" one of the other players yelled.
"This is Merry Christmas for you guys," Somerville smiled, "Because I'm planning to re-enter at least six times."
"This is what I came here for, to get busted by Jason," Jeff Jansen said, sporting a Run it Up hoodie and a Green Bay Packers hat.
"I think I've got an advantage, because I know his tendencies from watching him play every day!" Jansen smiled.
"I've only started playing poker in January and watched Jason for part of every day when he was streaming," Jansen added.
