The Roughrider Poker Tour is known as the premier poker tour across the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana. This weekend, the RPT makes its way to Jackpot Junction Casino Hotel from August 1-3 for the highly anticipated Minnesota poker debut. The inaugural tournament, held in the town of Morton, will feature a $640 buy-in with an estimated $200,000 prize pool.

Flight A begins today at 2:00 p.m. local time and Flight B will commence on Saturday, August 2, also at 2:00 p.m. Players who advance from each flight will combine and return for the Championship Day on Sunday, August 3, where a winner will be awarded the top prize, a custom RPT bracelet, and a $600 Tri-State Poker Championship Main Event seat.

This will be the second RPT event that PokerNews has had the pleasure of live reporting on this year, with the 2025 Montana State Poker Championship taking place just a few months back in April. The ninth edition of the tournament proved to be a big success, attracting 283 entries and generating a prize pool of $148,575. Dan Burcham defeated Andrew Hilleren in a back-and-forth heads-up match to take home $29,000 and the RPT bracelet.

* Denotes heads-up deal

Players will begin each starting flight with 60,000 in chips and blinds will begin at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Blinds will increase every 40 minutes, with late registration and re-entries permitted through level 12 at around midnight. A 15-minute break will occur at the end of every three levels and a 75-minute dinner break will take place at the conclusion of level 6 at approximately 6:15 p.m.

Play for Day 1 flights will conclude once 15% of the field (rounded up) remains and those who bag will be in the money. Day 2 will then start at the earliest blind level of the two flights on Sunday, August 3, where the event will play down until a champion is crowned.
